The history of Indo-U.S strategic relations is not very much old. The journey of Indo-U.S relations was started in a difficult way. Almost for fifty years both U.S and India remained estranged from each other. The end of Cold War brought enormous opportunities for both the countries and opened new vistas which finally shaped into what we call as Strategic Partnership. In contemporary era the strategic relations of both the nations got new momentum and U.S gave a unique status to India which is unprecedented in the American diplomatic history. In this article we would discuss the ups and downs in Indo-U.S strategic relations. We would critically analyze the growing Indo-U.S cooperation. We would also take a look of the history of the relations of both nations. We would address the question that how different global and regional developments had effected Indo-U.S relations and forced both states to change their ordinary relations into an advanced Strategic Partnership.
