Reconsider Indo US relations!
Just because the balance is not in our favour!
Indian and US media make us believe that Under Presidents Bush and Obama, the USA has demonstrated accommodation to India's core national interests and acknowledged outstanding concerns.It seems not be the reality despite media hype.
US at no point supported Indian interests to defend its sovereignty and integrity and contrarily,it has been using and helping other forces to undermine India at every level as it had bee during cold war era.

The global scenario would have a turnaround
if Donald Trump becomes the next President of America not because of his most controversial hate campaign against Islam ,but his America first agenda which sounds quite racial and reminds us the rise of Hitler yet another time.Mind you, the third day of the Republican National Convention is titled "Make America First Again" which declared Trump's candidature.
VOX explains:

In 1940, "America First" referred to a group that resisted America’s entry into World War II before Pearl Harbor. The cause eventually came to be associated with not just antiwar objectors but also virulent anti-Semites, and the term itself became somewhat taboo. In the decades since, politicians have mostly shied away from the phrase, with a few exceptions on the fringe like Pat Buchanan.
Then came Donald Trump. He’s happily seized on an expression that once stood for isolationism and xenophobia and turned it into one of his many vague, ebullient catchphrases. Much like "Make America Great Again!" Trump uses "America First!" as an exclamation point to sum up everything from energy policy to his support for veterans.
Yet even if he seems ignorant of the phrase’s historical origins, the disquieting history of how "America First" eventually became a byword for anti-Semitism is relevant to his presidential campaign. The America First movement attracted many of the same kinds of people drawn to Trump, including racists and bigots empowered by seeing their views reflected in a national debate.
However, it is claimed that Indian diplomacy ensured increase in bilateral trade & investment, cooperation on global security matters, inclusion of India in decision-making on matters of global governance (United Nations Security Council), upgraded representation in trade & investment forums (World Bank, IMF, APEC), admission into multilateral export control regimes (NSG, MTCR, Wassenaar Arrangement, Australia Group) and joint-manufacturing through technology sharing arrangements have become key milestones and a measure of speed and advancement on the path to closer US-India relations.

We see no reflection in reality and United States captured Indian Market without serving India's interests.
The strategic relationship with US has never touched the level of Indo USSR strategic relationship as US has other allies to defend for example Israel and UK.
Fox news broke the news long before that Canada began fencing its border along with United States of America as soon as Donald Trump emerged potential enough to become the Republican Candidate for next US President lest Canada should be flooded with refugee influx just because of Anti Islam Trump Agenda.

We should have learnt the lesson.
But we reject to learn.
Indian diplomacy seemed diplomatic enough as it has never been independent and had been tagging itself with some super power with changing global trends and equation.
Even the nonaligned movement was not so nonaligned and it was virtually and really aligned with USSR.
Even today, despite India opened its defence sector for global market Russia has the Lion's share in Indnian defence market after two decades since the demise of USSR.
The logic that the globe is unipolar is not enough to defend Indian interests as we opted to tag us with United States of America since Indo US nuclear deal signed and we became the strategic partner of United States of America in US War against terror.
It is suicidal if we keep in mind the diverse demography in the geopolitics which has more than enough population of those people who has faith in Islam
It has complicated our internal security problems as United sates of America has waged a war against Islam since oil war and made Saddam Hussein a scapegoat to capture natural resources in Asia and Africa.

More over, US is better known as the creator of global terror network.
It created Taliban and helped it to the point that the help carried drains of poison to deestablise India since eighties and Taliban kits of weapons were handed over to extremists and terrorists in India to put India on explosive carrier of deestablizaton.
We may look back to eighties and nineties.
Than US created Al Qaeda to import Arabian Spring and Al Qaeda was followed up by by ISIS which has captured Bangladesh now and almost 250 million refugees might break in India as Bangladesh situation is out of control.

It is greater danger than Bangladesh war.
Mind you, In 1961, India became a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement to avoid involvement in the Cold War power-play between the USA and USSR. The Nixon administration's support for Pakistan during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 affected relations till the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
In the 1990s, Indian foreign policy adapted to the unipolar world and developed closer ties with the United States.Then US sent seventh fleet to stop Indian intervention in Bangladesh.
Now, Donald Trump has become the Republican candidate and he has declared America First. It means he has US interests on topmost which further means those interests would not be Indian interests at all despite the hyped friendship between the leadership of the two nations.
Trump has declared his agenda in fine print and Indian diplomacy need to reconsider Indo US strategic relations afresh as Trump agenda would have serious impact on the complex demography of this geopolitics which would become calamities for us.
It would not be reality if Trump becomes the next president of America as the Republican platform adopted by the party national convention considerably dilutes the rhetoric that fuelled presidential candidate Donald J Trump’s primary campaign, and sticks to traditional U.S positions on several key foreign policy issues.
Well, the document describes India a “geopolitical ally and a strategic trading partner” and states, with Pakistan, “a working relationship is necessary, though sometimes difficult.” A Republican administration will work towards securing the nuclear arsenal of Pakistan, echoing a concern that has guided the Obama administration’s South Asia policy. On Afghanistan and West Asia, the Republican document “blames the current administration’s feckless treatment of troop commitments and blatant disregard of advice from commanders on the ground.”
While the customary paragraph on India in the document reflects continuity and stability, and even singles out Indian Americans for praise – “Republicans note with pride the contributions to our country that are made by our fellow citizens of Indian ancestry” – the section on immigration leaves room for concern from an Indian perspective.
Trump’s advisers say turbocharging the economy is his most urgent priority, and it’s likely that shortly after taking office a President Trump would put forth an economic plan that would slash government spending, trim federal bureaucracies and radically reduce taxes.
US media reported all about Trump agenda and it should be read thorouhly to read the psyche of the potential republican nex presidential candidate.
While Trump remains unpredictable and often reverses himself on policy issues, here’s what the candidate and his top advisers say they are going to prioritize should he win the presidency in November:
