“…The US president John F. Kennedy advised by his Secretary of State Dean Rusk in the 1960s that India is a crucial state to counter China in the long‐run. The reason is that India is the largest non‐communist state which is a big prize for the US in Asia (Lalwani & Byrne, 2019). China's unresolved security issues with the US over South China Sea and Taiwan as well as growing concerns in the Indian Ocean, and on the other hand, its unresolved border issues with India reduces the prospects of liberal commercial relations.…”

Strategic interdependence between China and Pakistan increased in the post-9/11 period due to various regional and international developments. The strategic partnership between the two states which was evolved in 1960s due to Indian factor has now been transformed especially in the post-Cold period where new factors have been added in their relationship. Some of the factors identified in this study include enhancement of the strategic value of these states for each other especially closer collaboration in the defense and security, Cooperation in regional connectivity, cooperation in the regional organizations, mutual consensus on core political issues of Kashmir and Taiwan and China's support to Pakistan stance on the India's membership of Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG). China-Pakistan strategic cooperation has raised concerns in India which on its part is devising counter-strategies. Although, the study is qualitative and based on content analysis, but at the same time it is empirical as it also explains the correlations between independent and dependent variable i.e China-Pakistan strategic cooperation versus India's counter-strategies. In this backdrop, the main argument of the study is that the strategic partnership between China and Pakistan is not just India centric but in the post-Cold War period several other factors have been added and one of the prominent factor is the construction of CPEC. The study moreover finds out that these new developments in China-Pakistan strategic partnership have implications for India due to India's unresolved border issues with both Pakistan and China. The study is significant in terms of its relevance to policy makers, politicians, academia, and think tanks.

The world is in flux, both in terms of the changing global distribution of power and the declining commitment of the United States to the international order. This article argues that, unlike many other major powers, India is well positioned to benefit from the contemporary disorder. The U.S. has courted India as a strategic partner since the early 2000s, supporting India's grand strategy of developing hard-power capabilities while addressing regional threats and eventually attaining great-power status. In return, India has supported Washington's overarching goal of securing the Indo-Pacific region. Although significant challenges remain in the management of U.S.-India relations, the Trump presidency has on balance benefited India's grand strategy. New Delhi views the decline of U.S. leadership in the international ordera phenomenon whose origins precede Trumpas an opportunity to play a leading global role. However, India's predisposition toward strategic autonomy may complicate the process.
