US - India Defense Pact

India and the United States have signed a ten-year defense pact, which is very big news (although I somehow doubt it will get the play it deserves). India is often overlooked except when someone wishes to score cheap political points by decrying outsourcing, but the subcontinent has been making great strides in recent years and by some counts will outstrip China as the world’s most populous nation in the future. Both countries have an incentive to strengthen ties, and this is a very positive step.

Winds of Change has some excellent analysis.
