Washington India is one of the strongest allies and friends of the United States, a powerful American Senator and Co-Chair of the Senate India Caucus has said, as he greeted the country on its 63rd Independence Day.

"I am proud to say India is one of our nation's strongest allies and friends," John Cornyn, the Republican Senator from Texas said in a message to Indians and Indian Americans.

Cornyn is Co-Chair of the Senate India Caucus, which had recently held a Congressional reception for the new Indian Ambassador to the US Meera Shankar.

"My congratulations to the world's largest democracy and the millions of Indian Americans living in this country as you celebrate freedom and independence on this important day," he said.

"I want to congratulate all Indian Americans in Texas and across the country as we mark India's Independence Day," he added.

"India and the United States are cooperating more closely now than ever before, and the relationship between our two nations continues to strengthen and benefit both of us," Cornyn said.

US Senator says ' India one of US' strongest allies ' by Dr. Paras Deo on 18 Aug 2009

My suggestion to all Indians:Do not get carrried away by sweet talks and flattery.

US AND INDIA ALLY by PAL BALJINDER on 16 Aug 2009

Dear ALLWe are a great nation. We do not need any support agreement today to defend our homeland from anyone. Jai Hind

Ally or enemy? by Hero Vaz on 16 Aug 2009

India is one of its strongest allies, asserts the US. Is that why they give money to Pak to use against India? Some characters, indeed, the Americans are.

This should be a NON Breakable friendship by Dr Tarashankar Rudra on 16 Aug 2009

Both US and India MUST work to strengthen this friendship and pledge that nothing on earth can break it. We SHOULD extend it to all OUR democratic non terror sponsoring and nurturing allies thus laying a strong and solid foundation for future generations to live in peace in OUR Planet.

India and America. by Mohanraj on 16 Aug 2009

America has no allies except in Europe. In Asia, Latin America and Africa they have only vassal States. The word,"allies", in relation to these countries is used to hoodwink the people. Unfortunately, the NDA/UPA governments have been carried away by honeyed words of the imperialist. The Congress that once fought for freedom is now pushing the country into slavery. The Mahatma, Jawaharlal, Azad, Patel, et al must be turning in their graves.Mohanraj, Bangalore.

Big mouths by YD on 16 Aug 2009

Mouthing for India, billions for Pakistan. US have not even compelled Pakistan to stop terrorism against India. Indians feel big when a white man pat his back but Pakis want hard cash for "loyalty".

India and the US. by Mohan Raj on 16 Aug 2009

Aneridca has no allies except in Europe. In Asia, Latin America and Africa, they have only vassal states and the word "allies" is used to hoodwink the people of these countries. The NDA/UPA governments have taken it for face value. The Congress that fought for India's freedom is now pushing India into colonial slavery; the Congress that fought imperialism is now kow towing imperialism. The Mahatma, Jawaharlal, Azad, Patel, et al must be turning in their graves.

Long live Indo American friendship. by DR. CHAITANYA ; London. on 16 Aug 2009

India should be a friend of USA not because we feel lonely and frightened living amidst of jehadi nations and below a chineese dragon. Both the nations are natural allies and even though there is a huge economic disparity between the two, there are many things in common.We can take the co-operation and help from the USA to achieve full potential and in return we can be the sourse of stability,freedom and prosperity in asia.Our friendship is the perfect antidote for some of the poisonous madness that is spreading in this modern world in the form of fundamentalism.

US Senator says India is an US strongest allies by Dr. Paras Deo on 15 Aug 2009

Let us not get carried away by some 'That's what I want to hear' phrases and praises. Judge the 'First World' by their deeds not by praises.

US and India Ally by rai on 15 Aug 2009

In view of the chinese plans to attack India by 2012 and dismember india, we must enter into a support agreement with USA .(If Taiwan can be safe why not we?

US Senator says India one of US' strongest allies by Ratan Gupta on 15 Aug 2009

Of course, use and throw! We are ready with any proposal to bomb and invade any Muslim country. We do not have any independent foreign policy. Our policies are ingrained to be based upon false history and false premise. I still remember, the comedian Advani, the way he was jumping after 9/11 to cooperate in attacking Pakistan. In 24 hours Mushrraf turned the tables. Today, over several millions Hindus makes billions by working in Muslim countries every month and and send us in foreign currency, and yet, we love Israel. For what? Oh' we have a joint enemey and that is Muslim. HAAAA! How long! How long we have to suffer! We even have cancelled the gas pipeline deal with Iran. And now China has taken over. Chinese understand American and Israeli garbage. Israelis never loves anybody. They live in other countries but their mission is Israel. They don't care of America or Australia or India.

Good Sign by Rajesh on 15 Aug 2009

But will they support India in the time of trouble or it's just a politics? If Pakistan is wrong then Washington should say ti is wrong. if India needs help in military power, it should hesitate to offer help to India or should supress Pakistan's or china's cunningness if any. Let us respect God,

Tattu by Bansi on 15 Aug 2009

If India remains a barrowed Tattu (ass) of USA, and speaks his languages and a puppet then USA/India is happy, may be at the cost of country. USA is in bad recession at the moment and to come out that they need Billions and trillions of dollars, to earn that the easy way is to play politics and encourage India to fight with Pakistan or China, USA being with India and sell their Military, Navy and Air Force equipments, which will cost India Billions and Trillions of Dollars at the cost of poor man tax money. Do you think Bill Clintons wife visited India to meet her reletives, no it was a pure business trip to sell their defense equipments

U.S.Senator says India is one of U.S strongest allies. by D.ASrinivasan on 15 Aug 2009

Sir ,The pronouncement of the senator about India being one of the strongest allies of U.S is very flattering. All these years after our independence we have not heared such compliments from them .What should an ally do in case the ally is attacked by external forces to dismember the country.U.S. has not reacted the way allies will react in case their friends are attacked.There is a stark contrast in U.S.reaction to the countrie like Israel and India.In case of Israel U.S always supported them even when they are the agressors against their neighbours. Israel was supported by U.S by every conceivable methods.In contrast when India was attacked by Pakistan on 26/11 they are only asking us to be patient even when Pakistan Govt set free all those who are responsible for the terrorist attacks. All the while they are praising India for their patience in not attacking Pakistan after 26/11 perpetrated by Pak Govt machinery.The U.S.can not be trusted as our friendlet us ignore his flattery

indian ambassador by alexander on 15 Aug 2009

Has the American government chose any south Indian ambassador for America, or the Indian government picked any ambassador from southern India , its strange that most of the ambassador are from the northern India to America.
