The party ruling India is equivocating. I believe the main opposition party is more behind the U.S.
India has a big problem in that it has a significant Muslim population, some of which are in rebellion and much of which is on the verge of the same. They're also walking a knife edge with Pakistan, where they could fall into a nuclear abyss.
Their rulers are trying to hold everything together. I'm not sure they're ruling party is correct, but they believe that too strongly backing the U.S. could precipitate a worse civil war than there presently is. I'm not sure whether this is, at present, the right course for them. However, I strongly suspect that India will have stop equivocating before too long.
Interestingly, I've started to see the anti-Semites writing anti-Hindu hate that links Hinduism with Judaism and India with Israel. Likewise, I've been seeing the start of overtures between Hindu and Jewish groups. If more of the world starts seeing India as Hinjews that equivocation will have to stop all the sooner.
In any case, I'm willing to cut India a little slack right now. They could be the breakout country of the 21st century -- demographic predictions I've seen have India passing China in population shortly before 2050 -- and a major addition to the Anglosphere. But right now, it is a powder-keg over there.
Heh, I know I should be, too! But I feel like goading them into seeing what they're doing to us. We could use the moral support now. I don't think we need them strategically, but it wouldn't hurt.
I hope we don't get them after a bloody and/or irradiated war with Pakistan, or their own internal civil war. Whatever the case, I want them to see that their geopolitical interests would be served by joining with us. We're not colonists anymore, meaning the British anglos.
That may be the initial attraction. But, no one invloved in the movement beleives this to be true.
