While Obama has mesmerised the world, his equation with India is still to be seen
C Uday Bhaskar Defence and strategic analyst
Barack Obama’s victory in the US presidential elections on November 4 has had a mesmerising effect both within the US and the rest of the world but there is some degree of disquiet in India. Some campaign statements made by the US President-elect about Indo-Pak relations and Kashmir have been examined in detail for their likely negative implications on India-US bilateral relationship, which under President George Bush was ‘rocking’. Obama represents change, but to what degree will it be manifested in areas that are of high priority to India?
Going by the kind of statements Obama made in his campaign, some inferences could be arrived at in relation to India and the South Asian region. Apropos of the bilateral relationship, it is clear that India-US relationship has transformed due to the personal interest taken by the outgoing US President George Bush. The successful conclusion of the July 2005 civilian nuclear agreement has ensured that the Indo-US relationship is no longer ‘estranged’ over the contentious nuclear issue, and has now moved to preliminary ‘engagement.’ Thus, it is unlikely that the new presidency will radically alter this basic orientation.
During the campaign, Obama also made positive references to why India is important for the US in the future. Obama will bring in new initiatives and here, four areas are relevant to India. The first is the economic and trade policies. Given the negative impact of the current global financial crisis and the huge deficit that the US is facing, Obama will have to give this area the highest priority along with some degree of protectionist policies. This will also affect the Indian IT-dependent service sector but, hopefully, the November 14-15 G 20 meeting in Washington DC, which will be attended by PM Manmohan Singh, may help to mitigate this possibility.
Managing the global nuclear dynamic is another task. In a post victory interview, Obama indicated that Iran trying to obtain nuclear weapons would be “unacceptable”. Thus, the US would maintain the existing policy. However, he had said that he would not be averse to talks with Tehran and this shows that Obama will be more flexible and pragmatic towards Iran.
