The Rebbe on How to Handle a US Secretary of State
While, not directly related with India-US relations, I feel we can learn from it on how to deal with US pressure and the way US thinks on issues once you cave in. Very informative 5 mins.

India is in a very different position though. The positions are reversed. The US needs to find ways to convince India to have similar interests as them. For example, they succeeded with Iran and Venezuela but failed with Russia. Otoh, we managed to make them see from our PoV when it came to BD recently.
Right now they are in a position of strength, so if we fall into their camp, then they can dictate terms. But we managed to escape the bait. This started in the Bush era with the 123 Agreement. At this time, the quicker they get us in, the more advantage they have. But in time, maybe just 5 years from now, they will only be in a position to become an equal, ie, any alliance clauses will see us as equals. And 15 years after that, our positions will reverse.
Their attempts at flattery are obvious.
