The signing of the Indo-US nuclear pact can open a Pandora's Box of similar deals and accords in the area, which is already engaged in fast-paced proliferation attempts and is also the hot spot of contemporary war and power struggle. This study attempts to grasp the region's geopolitical environment, emphasizing the regional security mechanisms and the nature of the strategic partnership relationship. The Indian Prime Minister and the U.S. President, on July 18, 2005, issued a joint statement, which is considered to be the day when the process of reaching a nuclear agreement between them began. Following this, there was a great deal of discussion, both in India and the U.S., on the pros and cons of giving India a unique nuclear status and of India joining a camp that supports the U.S. This transaction has been interpreted as marking the start of a unique partnership between India and the U.S. Nevertheless, it took five years until the official launch of the first Indo-US strategic discussion, which took place in Washington in June of 2010. This event took place in 2010. Regrettably, over all of these years, the other aspects of this strategic connection did not receive much press, clearly described in July 2005. In this paper, an attempt is made to examine various nuclear aspects of Indo-US strategic relationship.
