India’s
impressive
economic
growth
over
the
last
two
and
a
half
decades
has
brought
India’s
role
and
interests
to
the
forefront
of
global
politics
and
statecraft.
Importantly,
it
has
put
India
into
a
comparative
perspective
with
China,
another
aspiring
Asian
great
power
poised
to
stiffen
competition
for
resources
and
influence
worldwide.
Both
are
resource-hungry
and
rapidly
emerging
powers
seeking
a
new
place
and
role
in
the
global
and
regional
orders.
Both
are
also
strategic
rivals
and
consider
their
immediate
neighborhood
of
Central
Asia
of
growing
strategic
importance
to
their
grand
strategies.
For
now,
China
has
outperformed
India
in
Central
Asia
on
all
counts,
securing
the
region
as
a
key
resource
base
and
platform
for
power
projection.
India
launched
the
“Connect
Central
Asia”
policy
in
2012
to
shore
up
its
presence,
but
the
policy
has
not
yet
secured
for
it
even
a
remotely
comparable
stake
in
the
region
due
to
aspects
of
India’s
strategic
culture
and
geopolitical
constraints.
Meanwhile,
the
U.S.
strategic
presence
in
the
region
leaves
much
to
be
desired.
The
United
States
is
withdrawing
from
Afghanistan
without
major
political
or
military
gains
from
the
conflict
that
has
cost
it
and
its
partners
a
fortune
in
lives
and
money.
The
future
of
its
military
infrastructure
and
relationships
with
countries
in
Central-South
Asia
is
a
big
unknown,
with
regional
partners
equating
the
U.S.
military
pullout
with
its
waning
commitment
to
support
the
regional
economic
and
security
order.
To
help
unlock
their
strategic
potentials,
Delhi
and
Washington
should
join
forces
and
cultivate
a
strategic
partnership
that
makes
Central
Asia
its
major
pillar.
Until
then,
neither
Delhi,
nor
Washington
is
likely
to
succeed.
