Speaking on Background Briefing with Ian Masters, Carnegie’s Ashley J. Tellis examined the substance behind the atmospherics of President Obama’s visit to India where he watched the colorful Republic Day parade of mostly Soviet and Russian military hardware with India’s Prime Minister Modi, the first American head of state to do so in 65 previous parades. Tellis discussed the revival of the nuclear power deal between the two countries and efforts to persuade India to deal with global warming.
