In 1971, US sided with Pakistan and ignore the massacres in East Pakistan. In recent times, especially since 1999, India and US have increasingly gravitated towards each other due to common interests.
Could I refer you to history once again?
The Indo US hostility precedes the Pakistani Civil War by at least a decade and half when India did not condemn the Soviet Union for its invasions of Hungary ( 1956 ) and Czechoslovakia ( 1968) .
India supported North Vietnam in its war sending medical teams.
India never condemned Soviet Union's suppression of East Germany protesting against a brutal occupation ( 1953 ).
The Soviet Union expected India's military support in Afghanistan in 1980 as a return for its help in the 1971 war . India under Morarji Desai balked and refused.
Earlier in the 1950s China was a friend under Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai .
If ever there was a "fickle " ally it is India.
