Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s piece on US-India military alliance after Galwan, titled ‘Will India Pivot Towards the US After Galwan’ has been published in 9DASHLINE on June 19, 2020.
The piece essentially argues that a stronger US-India military alliance can indeed give credence to the Chinese fear of the revived Quad emerging as an ‘Asian NATO’. Hence, a common alarm over increased Chinese aggressiveness in a post-COVID order can end up serving as the main factor behind a restructuring of the Quad framework as well as bilateral China-containment alliances.
