To judge whether this dissatsfaction is grounded in realty, we must fst ask whether each county hae enough reason fo invest in 0 close relationship with the other in the fst place From the Indian perspective, there seems to be sufficient reason for an affirmative answer. Accounting for almost @ quarter of the world's GDP, the United States is by far the largest economy in the word. Its also the only superpower ‘on the globe and Ikely to remain so in the foreseeable future. It is a democracy that values other democracies. And, finally, itis by far the single largest recipient of India's exports of goods and services, If we seek rising economic prosperiy and increasing voice in world affairs, America is a good bet ‘An affirmative answer seems less clear-cut from the US perspective, at least on the surface. True, India is by far the world's largest democracy. But this cannot be a game changer by itself since it has been true for the last 60 years. At $1.25 tilion, the Indian economy is justa litle more than 2% of the world economy. Globally, itranks a low 11" in terms ‘of economic size, ranking behind China and Brazil, Above all, Incia accounts for loss than 2% of US exports and imports, ‘Seen in this context, the puzzle is not why the Obama administration is not doing more to promote ties with India but hhow India has come to command so much attention on the global stage. The main explanation of this puzzle les in where the United States sees India going in the next 15 to 20 years. In the last seven years, India has grown 11-12% per year in real dollars. Based on the current dynamism in the economy, high and rsing savings rate, 2 young population that is expected to grow younger and the past experiences of countries such as South Korea, Taiwan and China, India can be reasonably expected to sustain 10% growth in real dollars over the next 15 years. This would turn the country into a $5 tilion economy, catapult i into the fourth, if not third, position worldwide, behind only the US, China and Japan. No forward-looking nation ~ least ofall the US -would ignore an economy with such potential But this is not the only factor working in favour of partnership with Incia, American perceptions of India are also shaped by the vast numbers of highly successful Indians ~ a large majority of them first-generation immigrants - that they see around them. While the presence of Indians in the US is not new, their phenomenal success is. In the last 15 years, ther influence in the tech and finance industries and higher education has grown as that of no other single group. ‘A year ago, wien microprocessor giant Intel decided to put its employees in ts TV commercials, the first person it chase was Ajay Bhatt, he inventor of the USB port who had received hs first engineering dagree in the Maharaja ‘Sayajirao University of Barada. And to ensure that is lndian origins are not lost upon the viewers, replaced the real Bhatt by an even more Indian-locking moustached actor! Complementing this feature is the presence of 100,000 students from india on the US campuses. The US leadership recognizes that these are not any 100,000 students. Instead, they are among the brightest young men and women anywhere who would be among the movers and shakers of tomorrow around the globe. And this flow is likely to continue. Therefore, as a country that looks ahead, the US has plenty of reasons to seek a long-term partnership with India Therefore, it is no surprise that during the frst India-US strategic dialogue, the US took great pains to counteract the impression that it lacked enthusiasm for India in any way. How do we then expiain the continuing frustration among the commentators in the Indian press? The answer perhaps is that outside of the highly complex security area, there is very tle beyond the atmospherics that the governments can Jo 10 promote partnerships. Even commentators who deplore the US for failing to match its words with action and “Triumphant Institue of Management Education Pvt. Lid, TAME.)

Demands for the removal of certain export controls, which find frequent mentions, do not make a coherent agenda, While the governments can make some contribution in areas of mutual interest such as research in agriculture and technology and higher education and possibly dialogue on trade and climate changes issues, the bulk ofthe long-term relationship will be bull on business-to-business and individual-to-individual contacts outside of the government sector, 2s has been the case to-date. The outsourcing relationship between the countries did not have its origins in any US. {government decision to promote it. Nor did the American investors in India or Indian investors in America end up in their respective destinations because their governments placed them there. While continuing dialogue has signal value, the ultimate key to achieving a true partnership remains sustained rapid growth that turns India into a $5 trlion economy in ‘no more than 15 years. 41. As regards the view of the commentators in the Indian press that the US has not done much to improve the India ~ US partnerships, the author's fpinion is that (1) it is uly justified because the Obama ‘administration has not done much in this direction (2) itis unfair as the US administration is doing its best fo improve the partnership, (@) it's misplaced, as the governments’ sphere of influence in improving the partnerships is very much restricted (4) itis a case of over expectation as India is not a ‘great economic power from the US viewpoint. 42. The author cites the example of Ajay Bhatt to ‘emphasize (1) the briliance of young indian engineers. (2) how successful Incians have been in America. (3) the economic worth of indians in America (4) the reverence US companies show towards Indians. 43, Regarding the economic relationship between India ‘and the US, the author fee's that (1) India needs the US for its economic development while America's needs for ‘economic partnership with India are much less. (2) both india and the US need each other to serve the interests oftheir respective economies. (@) the United States can afford to ignore India whereas Incia cannot take such a risk (4) India can reach a stage where it may not strive for a closer economic relationship but it cannot afford to compromise on strategic interests. 44, The author's optimism regarding sustained growth of Indian economy is based on all the folowing reasons EXCEPT (1) similar experience of some other counties. (2) past economic growth of India (3) demographic profile. DIRECTIONS for questions 45 fo 47: In each question, a ‘word with its contextual usage is provided.
