Indo-US Relations in the Post Cold War Era

“Indo-US Relations in the Post Cold War Era” is a comprehensive study of the diplomatic, economic, and strategic interactions between India and the United States in the post-Cold War period. Written by Dr. Savita Kumari and Ratan Singh, this book critically examines the transformation of Indo-US ties from a period of mutual suspicion to a growing strategic partnership.
