Seventy-Five Years of India-US Partnership

Ever since India gained independence 75 years ago, the partnership between India and the United States has been critical. Successive American administrations have described relations with Delhi as the defining partnership of the twenty-first century, while successive Indian governments have referred to the US as India’s most important partner. The two countries are linked economically, with bilateral trade between the two countries standing at $160 billion annually, which includes $20 billion in defense trade. India is also key to the US’s Indo-Pacific strategy and is critical to the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or Quad.
