I am sure OP meant it hypothetically.
Besides geopolitics might shift quite fast. If, and that's a gigantic if, China lets go of is habit of looking at a map and declaring "yeah, that region is ours!", or Pakistan gets rid of its shadow deep state (that'd be ISI + military) India could have way better cooperation with them than it had ever had with USA, or will ever have. This again, obviously, is hypothetical.

- perl4ever 6y agoHistorically, wasn't there a period where the US was considerably more friendly with Pakistan than India? I think it was when India was more Soviet-sympathizing. I remember reading about an incident when the US sold a lot of fighter jets to Pakistan, and decided after collecting payment not to deliver. Probably that was about when the relationship went sour?
