India US relations: Concerns for Pakistan

Abstract

The events of Russian disintegration and terrorist attacks of 9/11 have cast grave implications on the globe. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 originated terrorism that led US to seize upon Afghanistan and from the womb of Russian collapse there emerged a unipolar world. The emergence of India backed by US has serious repercussion on the region in general and Pakistan in particular. The US finds itself with an unrivalled, uni-polar military and political power after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the post-cold war. The short-term US-strategic interests and demands do not restrict the policy makers from long-term priorities. The long-term US policy seems to sustain a preeminent position in South Asia.
