US relations with South Asia (since Christopher Columbus) and Pakistan-India interaction (1492-2002)
This study has been undertaken in the context of this peculiar nature of the complex interaction, and the American interest in South Asia. All important milestones have been focused upon in this study from 1492, when Christopher Columbus managed to obtain the patronage of the Spanish crown to discover a sea route to India, down to the years just before the Partition of 1947. The visit to India in 1877 by former US President Ulysses S. Grant, establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and British India and the interaction of American envoys with Jinnah and Nehru, have been included in this study besides references to the first settlements of migrants in the United States from today's Pakistan and India.
After 1947, focus has been maintained on the acrimonious relations between Pakistan and India, highlighting the important visits and events, apart from the interaction of the two with the United States.
This account which also covers at length, developments in the wake of the terrorist attacks in the United States of 11 September 2001, is interspersed with quotes from eminent analysts and scholars of the South Asia scene. Exact source of these quotes has been indicated at a few places. However, in many cases, this has not been done, to avoid repetitiveness and save on space.
