It will never happen. US will never be allowed to base militarily out of India or any Indian territories.Yes. Signing of the LSA would open up those opportunities.
While we maintain coordial relations with the US and our relations are on an upswing.would like to have Indians point of view.
India and US will never be allies in the sense of UK or Pakistan.
India is far too big geographically and demographically and economically (small now but won't be in a decade or two) to be a US ally in that sense. In the long run, we are looking to become the third biggest independent world power rivalling US and China. This is not in US interests obviously.
We will cooperate with US on many issues, and fight against them on many others. For example in Bangladesh, we have successfully fought with US and ensured their removal as an influence maker....while in Myanmar we brought in US as an influence to counter the Chinese.
So in a way it encapsulates our relationship going forward. Fight in some areas, cooperate in others...all the while high sounding ideals will be spouted by political leaders of both sides.
