With the rise of India, China, and Japan, the 21st century is often hailed as the Asian century. Whether these states can collaborate with each other over the long‐term in an effort to avoid regional anarchy in the Asia‐Pacific is an open question. How U.S.‐India ties will evolve constitutes a major determinant of how much stability or strife the Asia‐Pacific will experience over the foreseeable future. Selected aspects of this important bilateral relationship will be assessed here. The nature of U.S. grand strategy in Asia, and where India fits in this strategy will be examined. Understanding U.S. grand strategy provides insight to American strategic concerns and their impact on Washington's important bilateral relationships. U.S. and Indian perspectives on grand strategy will then be compared. Finally, how India's grand strategy plays into that country's foreign policy toward the United States relative to overall regional concerns will be evaluated.

While India and the US make pledges about potential collaboration on space, others walk those promises and potentials. In the India-US context, space has remained a potential area of cooperation for the last decade or so whereas China, which has studied the Indo-US joint communications carefully, has made fast progress on space-based solar power (SBSP), in terms of devoting financial and human resources into the project. The need of the hour is for democracies like India, US and may be even Japan to come together, structure large collaborations around space and capture the political space in this regard. The political leadership in both India and the US should recognise the importance of it and act accordingly before it is too late.
