India too has to decide exactly what type of relationship it wants with the US in this phase of global hegemony. The choices are not exactly easy. Within India, the debate seems to be around three possible strategies.
1. Indian should maintain its aloofness from the U.S and focus upon increasing its own comprehensive national power.
2. The Indian critics who see international politics largely in terms of military power are uneasy at the thought of growing closeness between India and the U.S. India should take advantage of U.S hegemony and mutual convergences to establish best possible options for it self. Opposing the U.S would be a futile exercise and will only hurt India in the long run.
3. India should take the lead in establishing a coalition of countries from the developing world. Critics feel that this coalition. Would become more powerful and may succeed in weaning the hegemony away from its dominating ways.
