  abstract = {<p>This article analyzes India\&$\#$039;s stake and role in the context of the renewed confrontational relationship between Washington and Beijing. The examination of India{\textquoteright}s strategic vision, along with the changing dynamics of its bilateral ties with the United States, China, and Russia, demonstrates that New Delhi\&$\#$039;s foreign policy toward Washington has been shaped by events in South Asia and the Indian Ocean, as well as by the dynamics of America\&$\#$039;s evolving relationships with key Asian powers. India has assumed a prominent role in the United States{\textquoteright} efforts to enforce a rules-based international order in the Indo-Pacific. Both nations have leveraged shared values to deepen their engagement, also driven by pragmatic considerations. At the same time, maintaining close relations with the United States has become a strategic necessity for India. The partnership between India and the United States has been reinforced by their increasingly adversarial relationships with China. India has shown a noticeable shift in its approach to the U.S.-China strategic rivalry, driven by New Delhi{\textquoteright}s changing threat perception of China {\textendash} from a partner to a security threat.</p>
