Abstract
This paper aims to highlight a promising change in the relationship between the US and India under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. He appears to be a harbinger of change for Indian foreign policy which was restrained and hesitant in the past. India and the US came closer due to a variety of factors. The mutual economic benefits are playing an important role in keeping the coalition. However, reasons like China’s growing regional influence and the unending war in Afghanistan have compelled the US to have a strong strategic partner in the region. The study dwells upon the careful, well thought, and sustained progress in Indo-US relations during the Obama administration. It also highlights the highs and lows of Indo-US relations under the Trump administration.
