The good relations will last for sure, the strategic convergence will probably not. India and China are already trying to get some forward traction on their disputes- expect positive materialization in a decade or so, that will curb some of the convergence although cooperation in anti-terrorist activities will obviously continue and deepen. The point is how will our relations orient themselves in the coming decade- at the moment India doesn't have any concrete ambitions beyond its immediate neighborhood and even these ambitions are linked to security concerns- as India leaps across various economic thresholds its ambitions will leap too. The optimistic view you hold though is reinforced by the fact that we've always been able to reconcile our conflicting interests to a great extent. When I was born, the US was still viewed with great mistrust- the fiasco with task force 74 was still fresh in the minds of the ruling and dominant generation.
