520			_aThis timely volume chronicles the transition of Indo-US relations from one between estranged democracies to a "strategic partnership" in the 21st century. It is the most comprehensive and up-to-date documentary study of the political, economic/trade, military/defence and nuclear dimensions of US relations with India from 1947 to 2006. The study discusses the overall strands and nuances in relations between India and the United States during the Cold War and after. It deals with the implications of the American alliance with Pakistan, the extension of limited arms assistance to India following the India China war of 1962 and support to the Tashkent and Simla agreements, Nixon's "tilt" towards Pakistan during the Indo-Pak war of 1971, India's nuclear test of 1974, the interruption and discontinuance of fuel supply to the Tarapur atomic power plant. It examines how relations improved somewhat in the 1980s and the process of bilateral convergence across a range of economic and security issues started imperceptibly in the 1990s. The study examines how the end of the Cold War the expansion of economic relations, the emergence of the United States as the leading investment and trading partner of India, greater military cooperation, and the US role during the Kargil crisis (1999) led to a substantial improvement in Indo-US relations.
