  1. Maybe now sure but in the past ever since Indira Gandhi in they were formally allied with the USSR Indira Gandhi made the switch from the non-aligned nations, which India had been a part of since the 1950s, to the Soviet Union during her tenure in the 70s and looking back at the 70s political climate in India it made sense at the time Because the 70s were a chaotic time in India, with the Pakistanis (who were an ally of the United States at the time) doing war crimes in Bangladesh and India sending in their own military forces to stop the Pakistanis which caused the Pakistanis to ask for the US to intervene which the US almost did, they sent task force 74 into Indian waters as a means to flex, although "officially "they were there to enforce the ceasefire and assist the Pakistani withdrawal from Bangladesh And not only that but the US and their inconsistent policy regarding Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh left a nasty taste in the many mouths of the Indian government As a result of that the Indians stayed with the soviets right up until 1991 and the fall of the Soviet Union And it's that legacy of Soviet-Indian alliance still persists in the modern day which is what Peter said is why the US government can't ever formally ally with India they can only ever partner in some issues
