India–United States relations (or Indo-American relations) refers to theinternational relations that exist between the Republic of India and the United States of America. Since India achieved independence in 1947, political relations between India and the United States have never been close, and today a number of formidable obstacles hinder progress during the pathway toward closer ties between these two popular democracies. To understand why such obstacles remain, one needs to review--among other matters--the more recent history of India's close ties with the former Soviet Union, even as she proclaimed a policy of non-alignment. In the 21st century, Indian foreign policy has sought to leverage India's strategic autonomy in order to safeguard sovereign rights and promote national interests within a multi-polar world. Under Presidents Bush and Obama, the United States has demonstrated accommodation to India's core national interests and acknowledged outstanding concerns. A unique feature of this relation is that U.S. is the world's oldest democracy, while India is the world's largest democracy.
