I'm yet to come across one as well, they're rare indeed. But with a population less than an typical large subcontinent town you'd expect that.

India is a convenient speed bump for China if they ever got to war with the US or their allies, so Biden will happily feed Indian delusions if it helps them during a conflict.
Thats why their entire strategy emphasises the so called Quad

Washington [US], February 12 (ANI): With the aim to adapt its role for the 21st century, the Biden Administration has announced the new Indo-Pacific strategy which supports India's "continued rise and regional leadership" in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region.
On Friday afternoon, the White House released a 12-page fact sheet stating that they will focus on every corner of the region from South Asia to the Pacific Islands to strengthen its long-term position and commitment, including an emphasis on supporting and partnering with India.
"We will continue to build a strategic partnership in which the United States and India work together and through regional groupings to promote stability in South Asia; collaborate in new domains, such as health, space, and cyberspace; deepen our economic and technology cooperation; and contribute to a free and open Indo-Pacific," the strategy document read.
"We recognize that India is a like-minded partner and leader in South Asia and the Indian Ocean, active in and connected to Southeast Asia, a driving force of the Quad and other regional fora, and an engine for regional growth and development," it added.
The policy document states its Indo-Pacific strategy, which cites the "mounting challenges" posed by the rise of China as a key driver of the "intensifying American focus" on the Indo-Pacific.
On Quad, the document says the US intends to strengthen it as a premier regional grouping and ensure it delivers on issues that matter to the Indo-Pacific.
"The Quad will play a leading regional role on COVID-19 response and global health security, delivering on its investment to provide an additional one billion vaccines to the region and to the world," it says.
While slamming China, the policy document said the People's Republic of China (PRC) is combining its economic, diplomatic, military, and technological might as it pursues a sphere of influence in the Indo-Pacific and seeks to become the world's most influential power.
"Our collective efforts over the next decade will determine whether the PRC succeeds in transforming the rules and norms that have benefitted the Indo-Pacific and the world," the document stated.
Citing China's border disputes with India, the strategy document notes that US partners like India "bear much of the cost of the PRC's harmful behavior." (ANI)

US Warns India Against China's Aggression, Vows To Work Together
New Delhi:
India is beset with significant geopolitical challenges, in particular from China and its behaviour on the Line of Actual Control, the White House has said, while releasing its Indo-Pacific Strategic Report.
The strategic report, released on Friday, is the President Joe Biden-led administration's first region specific report. It outlines the president's vision to firmly anchor the United States' position in the Indo-Pacific, strengthen the region and support India's rise and regional leadership in the process.
"We will continue to build a strategic partnership in which the United States and India work together and through regional groupings to promote stability in South Asia; collaborate in new domains such as health, space, and cyberspace; deepen our economic and technology cooperation; and contribute to a free and open Indo-Pacific," the White House said.
"We recognise that India is a like-minded partner and leader in South Asia and the Indian Ocean, active in and connected to Southeast Asia, a driving force of the Quad and other regional fora, and an engine for regional growth and development," the White House statement added. However, a senior US official, on condition of anonymity, pointed out the significant challenges New Delhi is beset with.
"But India faces very significant challenges. China's behaviour on the Line of Actual Control has had a galvanizing impact on India. From our standpoint, we see tremendous opportunities in working with another democracy - with a country that has a maritime tradition that understands the importance of the global commons - to advance critical issues in the region," said the White House official.
"There is tremendous appreciation of the importance and the challenges of strengthening the engagement with India and a recognition that India is a critical strategic partner, and a desire to continue building on the very good work of previous administrations to significantly broaden and deepen that relationship," the official said.
The official made the candid observations while briefing reporters on the release of the new regional strategy. The senior administrator said the previous US administrations, including the previous one led by President Donald Trump, had done a great job in the Indo-Pacific region.
The strategic report was released as a Quad Ministerial is underway in Australia; foreign ministers from Australia, India, Japan and the US on Friday expressed concerns over the malign Chinese role in the region.
China, the strategic report said, is combining its economic, diplomatic, military, and technological might as it pursues a sphere of influence in the Indo-Pacific and seeks to become the world's most influential power.
The Chinese coercion and aggression spans the globe, but it is most acute in the Indo-Pacific, it said.
From the economic coercion of Australia to the conflict along the Line of Actual Control with India to the growing pressure on Taiwan and bullying of neighbours in the East and South China Seas, our allies and partners in the region bear much of the cost of the People's Republic of China's (PRC) harmful behaviour.
In the process, China is also undermining human rights and international law, including freedom of navigation, as well as other principles that have brought stability and prosperity to the Indo-Pacific, the strategy said.
"Our collective efforts over the next decade will determine whether the PRC succeeds in transforming the rules and norms that have benefitted the Indo-Pacific and the world. For our part, the United States is investing in the foundations of our strength at home, aligning our approach with those of our allies and partners abroad, and competing with the PRC to defend the interests and vision for the future that we share with others," it said.
"We will strengthen the international system, keep it grounded in shared values, and update it to meet 21st-century challenges. Our objective is not to change China but to shape the strategic environment in which it operates, building a balance of influence in the world that is maximally favourable to the United States, our allies and partners, and the interests and values we share," it added.
Responding to a question, the senior official told reporters that the last four administrations have played a significant role in improving relations with India.
"With regard to India, we very explicitly highlight the importance of - the importance of what the last four administrations have all played a very important role in advancing, which is the much greater US engagement, much improved US relations with and much closer US partnership with India," the official said.
"Obviously, India's role in the QUAD I think is a very significant element of that, including the ability to speak frankly, about issues in the region, to work together to deliver essentially public goods that address the challenges in the region, and to enhance ways in which we can coordinate," the official said.
India, the senior official said, is in a very different place, in many ways than Australia and other countries.

@siegecrossbow the candidate recruitment quality in various US government positions has dropped really low, I don't think we are headed in a good direct in the future when you have morons like this guy sitting in the State Department.

lol. Pakistanis think US will take decisions based on Pakistani sensitivities. The President hadn't even taken a minute to make a phone call to Imran.
Pakistan has too little importance to even be an after thought. Regarding India and China, since the trade between them is going over hundreds of billions it is likely that both these countries could come to some sort of agreement in future not to harm each others interest leaving Pakistan to its fate.
And Pakistan anyways is a liability to China too, as it has become a debt sink hole. Next decade it will be interesting.

If India comes to agreement with China then what further role has it for USA? Continued US support for India implicitly demands a anti-chinese posture.
Why would the west want to build up India, just to see it become another headache like China, albeit milder?
If India fails to deliver then the west has to find options. Its very likely that the supprt would be shifted from India to Pakistan and Central Asia instead.
You cant eat your cake and have it too.

Nothing fantasy about the deep seated hatred Indians have for each other, it's being splattered across social media

Regional leadership? LOL
These hallucinating wankers are living in some parallel universe.
Pakistan: Gives a middle finger, all the times.
China: Just recently occupied 1200 sq Kms of Indian controlled territory without firing a single bullet while squashing plenty of Indian soldiers like maggots with clubs.
Nepal: In Chinse camp now.
Bhutan: Also becoming Chinese area of influence.
Bangladesh: There is a grown title towards China.
Sri lanka: At best neutral.
Maldives: yes maybe due to own survival issue.
