Abstract
This paper examines the geo-strategic relevance of Indo-US strategic partnership in South Asia where in India and Pakistan has antagonistic approaches regarding issues confronting one fifth population of the world. The imbalance in conventional, unconventional or nuclear weapons between India and Pakistan as a result of Indo-U.S nuclear deal and defense agreement is likely to accelerate the rise of mad race of nuclearization in South Asia and it is bound to undermine Pakistan's strategy of credible minimum deterrence capability . The strategic partnership of India and United States has not gone unnoticed in Beijing as China perceived it a direct threat to her national interests in the region. The perplexing aspect of U.S engagement in South Asia is to deal with India's long desire of dominating smaller nations of the region and Sino- Pak's convergence of geo-strategic interests regarding United States and India, security cooperation and mutual understanding on the war against terror.
