(May, 2010)"The United States and India are building a strategic partnership that is under- pinned by our shared interests, our shared values as the world’s two largest democracies, and close connections among our people. India’s responsible advancement serves as a positive example for developing nations, and provides an opportunity for increased economic, scientific, environmental, and security partnership. Working together through our Strategic Dialogue and high-level visits, we seek a broad-based relationship in which India contributes to global counterterrorism efforts, nonproliferation, and helps promote poverty- reduction, education, health, and sustainable agriculture. We value India’s growing leadership on a wide array of global issues, through groups such as the G-20, and will seek to work with India to promote stability in South Asia and elsewhere in the world."

Most recent News on US-India Relations
We are at the crossroads of international partnerships. The Cold War is a fading memory, and while military power remains important, political, economic and cultural structures around the world are increasingly the true foundations of cooperation. In this regard, India and the United States could not be more alike. Although in economic terms India is only now experiencing faster economic growth, many of us are optimistic that this path will lead to the kind of vibrant and responsive economic structures that now support American markets. Alongside this economic parallel is the natural bond that flows from being the planet's largest democracies. What role can Indian Americans and friends of India play in ensuring that these opportunities grow to their full potential? We must be heard in the corridors of power, and for that to happen, we must speak to those who would act on our thoughts. Every representative in Congress must be made aware that funding support as well as support at the voting booths is at least partly contingent on the voting records of congressmen and women in matters relating to US-India relations. On these pages, US-India Friendship will help make your voices for strong Us-India relations heard with purpose and conviction. We hope that you will use the links and the information we provide to participate with vigor. Together, we will fulfill both the promise and the obligation of our free societies. Ram Narayanan

Indian Population Explodes in the U.S.: 2000-2008According to Washington-based think tank, Migration Policy Institute, the United States is home to about 2.3 million Indian origin people (including those born in the U.S.). Indians are the third-largest immigrant group after Mexicans and Filipinos. Between 2007 and 2008, the number of Indian immigrants surpassed the number of Chinese and Hong Kong-born immigrants for the first time since at least 1960, said the Migration Policy Institute in its latest report. | | To Receive Updates and "Special Alerts" About US-India Relations
