<b>The United States of America is currently engaged in having more intense interaction with India.No one single reason can be attributed to be responsible for this shift in the US policy. In the last few months, we find that USA declared India to be a responsible Nuclear State.This was followed by the holding of a joint Naval Exercise off the West Coast and a two week long US India Joint Air Exercise near Kolkata.Immediately after that the US Pantagon announced leasing of two P-3C Orion aircrafts to India.At the same time, the US economic interaction with India is alos developing rapidly.There has been various different views voiced by different people as to what actually brought about the change. It is quite possible that the US wants to have India as its partner in Asia against the emerging economic power of China. Secondly, in view of the continuing growth of the Indian economy, USA may like to have a bigger share in the Indian market.</b>
