The U.S.-China strategic competition is the defining great power competition of the 21st century. It will drive signficant global capital allocation, domestic industrial policy, spur movement of talent and opportunity, and inspire new military doctrine.

How India charts its course amidst a changing global strategic mood will help define the global and Asian balance of power. The country is rapidly gaining national power. Milestones include the growth of privately-held strategic industrial capabilities, coverage of transport infrastructure and connectivity, the upliftment of large cohorts from poverty, stable and competitive welfare of its states, and broadening economic liberalization.

The alignment and growth of opportunity, rising from a cooperative synergy of industry, technology, and commerce between the U.S. and India will be enacted by people. And it is within networks of passionate future leaders that trust is built. The Washington Forum on India exists to identify these people early - and on campus.
