With Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s state visit to the United States in June and President Joe Biden’s September visit to India, 2023 has been a landmark year for the India-US strategic partnership. But the world’s oldest democracy and the world’s most populous democracy have not always been such close friends. Through most of the Cold War, relations between the two countries were beset with challenges. Only within the last two decades have New Delhi and Washington become natural allies.

Economic Times columnist Seema Sirohi’s new book Friends with Benefits: The India-US Story explores the slow development of the US-India relationship. Join Hudson Institute for a book talk with Sirohi and Ashley Tellis, the Tata Chair for strategic affairs at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, moderated by Hudson Research Fellow Aparna Pande.
