India is a leader in the Non Aligned Movement (NAM) of about 140 U.N. members. India is of course with us on the war to combat radical Islamic terrorism. But just what is India's goal beyond that? Of course Her interests are Her own, but as a leader of the "developing" nations how does India feeeeel about their interest v. the U.S.?

It doesn't take much googling to find the many stories of Russia and India strategic interest and there are stories of Russia, India, and China forming alliances to oppose the world's only superpower, us.

I am concerned about our national security. To wit,

Key Indians interviewed in the report said, "America's reluctance to engage in focused technology transfer is a deal killer in the effort to construct an enduring strategic relationship." Indians placed technology transfer as the 'touchstone' of the new found strategic relationship and 'everything revolves around a strong US commitment to share its technologies so that India can advance'.

"The article is based upon 'Indo-US Military Relations: Expectations and Perceptions,' a classified US defence department document in rediff.com's possession."

Yes, let's cooperate in the war against radical Islamic terrorism. Of course, there's nothing we can do about Her ho's in American corporations transferring critical technology for profit but we should not transfer military technology directly.
