YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE EXPERTS...:

The United States and India: A Shared Strategic Future: A CFR-Aspen Institute India Joint Study Group Report (CFR, 9/15/11)

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Aspen Institute India (Aii) have cosponsored a U.S.-India Joint Study Group to identify the shared national interests that motivate the United States and India. The group is releasing its conclusions from meetings held in New Delhi, and Washington, DC. It recommends

The United States express strong support for India's peaceful rise as a crucial component of Asian security and stability.
The United States and India endorse a residual U.S. military presence over the long term in Afghanistan beyond 2014, if such a presence is acceptable to the government of Afghanistan.
The two countries resume regular meetings among the so-called Quad states (the United States, India, Japan, and Australia), and should periodically invite participation from other like-minded Asian nations such as South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Representatives of the Quad states have not met since 2007.

...because they're ten years beyond W and can't forthrightly state that we share common enemies in Pakistan and China.
