I don't see there has been much patching up with the Democrats. Allowing Right wing EU MEPs while denying US congressmen, who think they are lords of the earth, permission to visit kashmir, is classic Democrat baiting. Also, the way Modi Gov. has been conducting its foreign policy in the second term, any US sanction on Modi, and GOI will ensure that Indo-US relations will be massively downgraded.
What's wrong in India letting Americans know about our red line when Modi said India don't want any third party interference in the face of trump or inviting Right wing EU MEPs and snubbing US congressmen ? Should this be not considered a new assertive foreign policy under Modi-Jashankar ?
