When Modi surprised Obama with his invitation to be chief guest of Republic Day he sent out a set of clear messages: he wanted to place the India-US relationship on the 'salaami manch' of a familiar parade; he wanted the US to be deeply involved as he struggles to pull India out of the economic suds; most important, he saw India's 'Act East' giving new energy to US 'rebalance' that, if played right, has the potential to propel India's global power ambitions......
......We cannot therefore overstate the importance of the US offer to help build a new aircraft carrier. In September, India had already stitched up another agreement for the US to cooperate in building new naval vessels with technology and avionics - India is in the process of building over 40 ships.......
