India and the US are poised for a partnership that will be crucial in shaping the international order in the 21st century.
A great and fascinating relationship is evolving. It has the potent to exercise enormous influence on the course of events across the globe. The democracy in India, free enterprise and its value systems make it an inevitable partner that the US wants. And as India’s global political and market value increases, it will in turn create new avenues of cooperation for the two nations.
Apart from trade and politics, the scope of cooperation between India and the US has grown to a variety of fields – agriculture, space, science and technology, military, climate change, facilitating a global economic recovery, countering terrorism, etc.
www.indousbiz.com is a private enterprise that will strive to play a crucial role in shaping and advocating policies that are more friendlier for Indian and US companies to do business with and increase awarenesss on Indo – US business oppurtunities.
There needs to be more travel between the US and India, more number of cultural and political exchanges, a much greater educational exchange, in short, more and more people from either countries will have to know more and more of each other.The Indian students who form the largest group in the US Universities have the potential to play a more significant role in further developing the relationship between the two countries.
For long, India and the US were estranged partners, talking to each other infrequently, and seldom listening. However, the last fifteen years or so have been refreshingly different. But, time is of the essence and we need to move fast.
This is an opportunity and a responsibility. An Opportunity that we need to seize so that the benefits are enjoyed by us, a responsibility that we need to live up to, so that the lives of our children are safe and sound.
We need to seize and we have to live up. We shall.
