Introduction
Since 2000, the Indo-U.S. partnership has been on a consistent positive trajectory, and in the year 2023, the two states expanded the horizons of their relations to a Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership.[1] This elevation of ties has been achieved through cooperative developments over the past two decades. In the year 2023, India’s G20 Presidency, the Indian Prime Minister’s state visit to the U.S., and the 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue were the key highlights. However, the year 2023 does not appear to be ending on an optimistic note as dents have started to appear in this relationship due to India’s expanding transnational terrorism drive or commonly known as death squads, which is being investigated by Washington.
