I think it's important to point out that America and India are not enemies. America gets frustrated with India's independence and eccentricities, but as India has never been an aggressor I find it hard to imagine a scenario where the two countries become complete enemies. Granted, the US/Pakistan and US/China relationships are strong negatives to India, but these relationships are based more on those countries' willingness to cooperate with the U.S. agenda, rather than their relationships to India. Naive as it sounds, I feel that India occupies a warm spot in America's heart and I think the NRI's here contribute to that feeling to a very substantial degree. The level of inter-cultural animosity is low, I think, and I think this factor tends to play a large part in international relationships. What was America's relationship with Pakistan in the late 1960's and early 1970's? I certainly remember American sentiment to be very pro-India during that conflict. Wasn't the US/Pakistan relationship defined during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan? Best, Peter
