The jostling between the two nuclear competitors negatively impacts the region’s peace, security and development. Major Powers have exploited these fault lines to achieve their strategic objectives. India considers itself a significant regional power, and the US encourages it to be a net security provider in the region. India perceives Pakistan and China as obstacles in its hegemonic ambitions. It has moved closer to the US in its strategic initiatives, resulting in multiple socioeconomic, political and strategic implications for the strategic balance in South Asia, particularly for Pakistan. India is trying to push the region’s strategic balance in its favour. It brings significant challenges for Pakistan and opportunities to counter them. This research paper aims to analyse the implications of the India-US strategic partnership on the strategic situation in South Asia, especially Pakistan. It explores the out-of-box way forward that Pakistan may adopt to create opportunities for itself.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Bibliography Entry</strong></p> <p>Khan, Muhammad Ahmad (2023) “India-US Strategic Convergence: Implications for Strategic Balance in South Asia” <em>NDU Journal</em>. 37: 46-58.</p>}, journal={NDU Journal}, author={Khan, Mr. Muhammad Ahmad}, year={2023}, month={May}, pages={46–58} }
