Today, Jamil, Jess, and Morgan discuss Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit and Thursday night’s state dinner at the White House. President Biden and PM Modi reached several strategic cooperation and defense agreements during PM Modi’s visit. Both India and the U.S. share China as a pressing security threat, so a strong partnership in the region could be indispensable to both moving forward. 

What does the Fault Lines crew think of this budding relationship? Is it the “partnership of the century,” as stated by Modi? Given India’s partnerships with Russia and as leader of the nonaligned movement, can the U.S. count on India to be a good ally?
