This paper presents a critical political study of contemporary Indo-U.S. relations, tracing their evolution from the Cold War era to the present strategic partnership. It analyzes key dimensions of the relationship, including defense cooperation, diplomatic engagement, trade dynamics, and multilateral collaboration. The study highlights the growing strategic convergence between the two democracies, particularly in the context of the Indo-Pacific region and global geopolitical shifts. Using a qualitative and analytical approach, the paper draws on official documents, scholarly literature, and policy reports to assess both achievements and challenges in bilateral ties. While areas of friction remain such as trade disputes and differing foreign policy orientations India and the United States have demonstrated a shared commitment to fostering a stable, multipolar world order. The study concludes that sustained engagement, mutual respect, and adaptive diplomacy are essential for strengthening this vital partnership in the 21st century.
