Abstract
The constructive relationship between India and the United
States that witnessed significant upward trajectory by the
dawn of the twenty-first century is being portrayed by many in
India and abroad as moving in the direction of containing
China. Their perception is based on the fact that India and the
United States enjoy more convergences of interests than the
divergences of interests. The paper argues that containment of
China would result to serious strategic and economic
implications for India. It should be in the interest of India and
the United States that they encourage China rise in positive
direction that doesn’t pose any threat to both of them rather
than in a negative one. This way they can receive maximum
benefit out of the expanding relations, both economically and
militarily. It further argues that the changing international
security environment requires cooperation between these
three countries rather than confronting each other.
Key Words: India, United States, China, containment, strategic cooperation
