Pandya analyzes Manmohan Singh’s visit, in light of the fact that this is the first state visit by a foreign leader during Obama’s presidency. Pandya also addresses why many Indians view the U.S. president with suspicion and why India is skeptical about the growing U.S.-China relationship.

On Monday, the two countries concluded a new deal that will grant American companies exclusive rights to sell India civilian nuclear power reactors — a deal that could be worth $10 billion.

But even as that deal was struck, India once again resisted American efforts to limit carbon emissions — a deal India fears would slow its own economy.

Amit Pandya of the The Stimson Center joins Martin Savidge to discuss the Secretary of State’s visit to India and the state of American-Indian relations.

Amit Pandya, a senior associate at Stimson, a global security think tank, discusses Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari’s meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the extent to which his government can add meaningful value to the investigation.
