SS: In his book “At War With Ourselves,” former U.S. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster highlights India’s growing willingness to work closely with the U.S., largely in response to Chinese aggression. Despite this openness, India remains wary, fearing both being dragged into conflicts it wants to avoid and being left behind if U.S. attention shifts. McMaster shares insights from his meetings with Indian leaders, including Ajit Doval and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who expressed deep concerns about China’s increasing influence and military presence. Modi stressed the need for strong U.S.-India cooperation to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific as a counterbalance to China’s ambitions.
