Abstract
This chapter recounts a chapter in India-US relations that till date has missed the attention of scholars and writers alike. It focuses on the debates and politics around India’s decision not to contribute troops to the US-led Coalition of the Willing in Iraq. The chapter begins with a fairly extensive background section highlighting the changes in India’s approach to the US following the collapse of the Soviet Union. It goes onto analyse the resultant impact of the Indian nuclear tests on the relationship, whilst eluding to the difference between President Bill Clintons advance with regards to India and that of President George W. Bush. Essentially, the chapter argues that India gave the question of troop contribution an incredible amount of thought. Indian elites led by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee spent considerable diplomatic and political energy in considering both the advantages and consequences of sending troops. India’s ultimate decision, in fact and curiously, did more to strengthen relations with the US than isolate itself from America’s contemporary strategic imagination.
