- Abstract
In the post-Cold War era, India and the United States forged a strategic partnership and developed a complex interdependence in the form of civil nuclear deal, missile defence cooperation and space cooperation. By using the theoretical framework of realism especially offensive realism and complex interdependence, the study explains the factors that led to the evolution of Indo-US strategic partnership and consolidation of their relations into a comprehensive strategic partnership. The main argument of the study is that Indo-US strategic partnership is based on offensive realism which has led to develop India as hegemonic and aggressive power. The study finds out that the main purpose of the US strategic partnership with India is to contain the rise of China and maintain its primacy by making India as a net security provider in the Indo-Pacific region. However, contrary to United States objectives, it has negatively affected the regional security by affecting balance of power in favour of India vis-à-vis Pakistan. Pakistan is facing multifarious challenges due to Indian aggressive policies towards Kashmir, deadlock in bilateral talks and challenges of hybrid warfare. The study recommends that Pakistan should carefully design its strategy to counter Indian designs by developing cordial relations with the US.
