After Joseph (Joe) Biden became President of US in January ’21 (winning a photo finish race for ‘White House’ beating former President Donald Trump,) this is the first time PM Modi of India is making a 3-day visit to US… visiting Washington DC for one-on-one meetings with President Biden, VP Kamala Harris… also heads of States of Japan and Australia to firm-up the QUAD alliance with four major powers: US, Japan, Australia, India on September 24th.
- India’s right wing media (with a PM Modi bias,) speculates that QUAD might become a military alliance to counter CHINA’s aggressive bullying tactics or hegemony in the region. By such talk what they mean is… if CHINA makes military moves to annex TAIWAN (for example,) QUAD countries will come together and protect TAIWAN, confronting CHINA!
- CHINA is a strong Naval power too… with more than one nuclear sub already deployed in region!
- India’s right wing media also says Australia has plans to build nuclear subs. It will take 20 years to build a nuclear sub and Australia has not made even a start in that direction!
- India has a nuclear submarine but will India counter CHINA? I doubt it since India has all along maintained that QUAD is a trading alliance, not a military alliance against CHINA.
- Will US bring its nuke sub(s) to region to attack CHINA? I doubt it! US is tired of waging long wars (cold or hot.) It has sacrificed hundreds of thousands of its soldiers in WWII and in the 20 year long confrontation in AFGHANISTAN, fighting TALIBAN. Public opinion in US is against US soldiers putting their boots on foreign soil to fight wars to support border wars of trading partners in Asia, Europe or any foreign region.
- JAPAN too will not get into another long war (cold or hot) anymore… JAPAN has suffered a lot in WWII.
QUAD parleys to take place on September 24th at the White House. Hope such talks remain talks for maritime trade and commerce, COVID VAX co-operation between the 4 countries meeting face-to-face for the first time in years.
I sincerely doubt if these countries make public how they will confront the dragon bringing their military resources to south china seas or even Indian ocean region.

Indeed a very interesting development. Modi hai to mumkin hai. He thinks far ahead. You are right as far as India is concerned this meet is not for seeking American help to arm India. It is more for seeking business avenues but it is necessary to flex muscle to China because it ever since withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, it has started nurturing big dreams and with their pet dog Pakistan always ready to wag tail, it is important for India to redefine strategy for balance of power in the region.
Well said Navneet: “It is more for seeking business avenues but it is necessary to flex muscle to China because it ever since withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, it has started nurturing big dreams and with their pet dog Pakistan always ready to wag tail, it is important for India to redefine strategy for balance of power in the region.”
