Over the years the leaders of both countries have tried to give their relationship the name.However they could not.None of them remained, not for long enough to be able to establish.

The President Joe Biden had called the two nations “indispensable partners” in a message celebrating the 75th anniversary of India’s Independence.

“India as well as the United States are indispensable partners and the Strategic Partnership between the US and India is rooted in our common belief in the rule of law and the protection of human rights and dignity,” he said.

Mr.Biden Welcome to the Biden gang, a growing group.

The name-game’s origins can be traced back to the Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s trip to the United States as Prime Minister.”India as well as the United States are natural allies in the quest to create an improved future for humanity in the 21st century,” he said in an address at the Asia Society in New York in September 1998.

“Natural allies” was a dramatic description of relations between the two nations just two months after the Vajpayee government conducted nuclear tests.They were followed by me-too-tests by Pakistan and sanctions in retaliation by the administration of US President Bill Clinton.

“Natural allies” struck an emotional chord with people who are part of the relationship from both sides.President Clinton for one.

“As the Prime Minister Vajpayee has stated, India and America are natural allies, two countries founded in liberty and discovering the strength in its diverse cultures, and each being able to see in the other as a reflection of their own aspirations for a more peaceful and humane the world.” Clinton said in an address to an assembly of Indian parliament during a visit to India in May 2000.

Former US President George Bush stayed with the “natural” part of the formulation, however he changed the rest.”India in the 21st century is an essential and a natural partner of the United States because we are partners in the cause of human liberty,” he said in the speech in the Purana Qila in New Delhi in March 2006.

Okay I guess India as well as the United States are “natural partners (not allies, as suggested by Vajpayee and supported by Clinton) and he has drawn the two countries closer and called the two countries “brothers”.However, that was not the last time a leader in either of the countries went so far as describing relations in the terms of family.

The president Barack Obama went in for an overhaul of the entire.”The relations between our two nations is stronger than ever beforeand a reminder that this will be one of the most important relationships of the next century,” Obama said, when he received Manmohan Singh, the prime minister, as his first official guest in November 2009.

The phrase – “one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century” — gained instant popularity bilaterally and has been repeated many times since.

The president Donald Trump did not wait to enter the White House to try his own name.He declared during his campaign that India will be an “best all-round friend” in the US on his presidency.

Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo came up with an unrefined version of everything that’s on the shelves — “natural strategic partners”.And the daughter of President Trump Ivanka Trump who worked in the White House as an adviser to the president, jumped straight up to the top.She declared India as a “critical all-weather ally” in a video commentary about her father’s meeting with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Osaka G-20.She was ridiculed for it.

India as well as the United States were never and have never been allies, nor treaty allies, nor are they non-treaty allies.However, Ivanka Trump was not the first person to use this phrase.Senators John Cornyn and Mark Warner were who are the Republican and Democratic co-chairs of the India Caucus, had used the phrase”2015″ in an open letter addressed to the then defense secretary Ashton Carter, urging him to “place an focus on India as a crucial all-time ally”.

The relationship needs to be given a name, or any name.

Is it better to keep the relationship nameless and unclear? It could be something like the Faceless Men of the TV show Game of Thrones, allowing the bonds to take on any shape, name, or shape to fit the circumstances, the context?
