India to develop Iran port despite US pressure

Here let me quote u/CharmingRamsayBolton and give more reasons From this comment

I'll be brief and give you a few reasons. But before that, let me just point out that the US supported Islamic extremism from the 50s through the 90s. Its only after 9/11 that they flipped on this issue. US and Indian foreign policy: 1) US started supported Pakistan over India in the 50s because John Foster Dulles found the "Abrahamic faith and discipline" of its General Ayub Khan far more appealing than the "weak-willed Hindu culture" of Nehru. He also thought that the Gurkhas fought in the Pakistani army when he decided to support them. When told by the State Dept. officials that they fought for the Indian army, Dulles remarked, "No worries. We'll get them to fight on our side." 2) US support to Pakistan in the 1965 War. 3) US tacit support to Pakistan's army in the 1970-71 Hindu genocide in East Pakistan. About 500,000 to 1,500,000 million Hindu civilians were killed by by the West Pakistan dominated Pak army because they voted overwhelmingly for an East Pakistani political party. The (West) Pakistani incumbent government refused to recognize the electoral victory of the (Bangladeshi) Awami League and imposed marital law in East Pakistan (Bangladesh). Approximately 100,000 women were raped, and India was flooded by about 3,000,000 refuges. 4) US support (financial and weapons) to Pakistan in the 1971 Bangladesh liberation war. India decided to step into the East Pakistan genocide situation after Pakistan attacked India in a premptive Operation Chengiz Khan. Nixon decided to stop India from stopping the genocide by sending in a nuclear armed USS Enterprise and supporting British naval fleets. They only backed off after realizing that the USSR was tailing them with a nuclear submarine in the Bay of Bengal. 5) Nixon's sanctions on India for not "allowing those scummy Indians and that evil bitch (Indira Gandhi) get away with what they did in East Pakistan." 6) US sanctions for India's 1974 nuclear tests. 7) US support of the Afghan Mujaheddin against the soviets in the 1980s. The US left a battle hardened Mujaheddin and plenty of arms in Afghanistan. Pakistan's ISI used these Mujaheddin to step up infiltration and terrorism in Kashmir. These Mujaheddin used to travel freely betwen Afghanistan and Kashmir through Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province under the ISI's patronage. 8) US financial support for Pakistan's security establishment which used these funds to support terror camps in Kashmir. Terrorists infiltrated the LoC to engage in the massacre of Hindu Kashmiri Pandits. This resulted in 150,000 to 350,000 Pandits becoming refugees in their own country between the years 1988 and 1995. 9) US sanctions on India for conducting the 1998 nuclear tests. 10) US support (financial and weapons) to Pakistan in the Kargil War. The US even turned off GPS signals for the Indian army during the war. 11) More recently, the 2005 Modi visa ban has also caused major issues. Modi imposed certain restrictions on anti-Hindu propaganda used by missionaries to convert poor, uneducated tribal people in his state of Gujarat. An unprecedented combination of evangelical, Islamic, and left-wing ex-pat Indian groups lobbied with the Bush administration to use the protection of religious freedom act (that was only used once - against Modi) to impose a preemptive ban on Modi. Of course, the reason cited was "Modi's involvement in the 2002 Gujarat riots" but the real reason (restricting missionary propaganda) was never cited. Forget being found guilty for aiding/abetting the riots, the Supreme Court of India didn't even find enough evidence to convict Modi of ignoring his duty during the riots. Despite the Supreme Court's clean chit, the US didn't bother to overturn the visa ban undermining the authority of the Indian judicial system. Meanwhile, the US hobnobbed with mass murders, despots, and theocratic-authoritarian heads of state. 12) Hillary's use of European human-rights NGOs as a front to find "mass graves of Muslims" in Gujarat to implicate Modi between the years 2009 and 2012. The mass graves were found. But the bones collected as "evidence" turned out to be buffalo bones. How US studies India and itself: The US/West has a fundamentally different approach towards viewing itself and India. It views itself from a top down approach - Starting from a study of the American state (constitution, government, etc), moving on to a study of American nationalism (revolution, civil war, world wars), moving on to a study of American cultural theology (white man's burden, manifest destiny, Christian theology), and finally onto problems in American society (racism, sexism, immigration, treatment of religious minorities). However, it views India (go to any India-studies class in the US) from a bottom-up approach - Starting from problems in Indian society (treatment of women, Dalits, religious minorities), ascribes these problems to Hinduism and Hindu theology (caste system, Hindu patriarchy, upper caste "chauvinism"), which is considered the fundamental block of Indian nationalism (Hindutva, wars against Pakistan) and the Indian state (constitution, government, etc). The top-down approach gives Americans a holistic picture of their own society. Where as the bottom-up approach gives Americans a completely distorted picture of Indian society. The problems in American society are considered flaws where as the problems in India society are considered features. And America uses this world view to embarrass India on global forum, proposing that India needs the West to "save Indians from India". What this does is it makes Indians (especially Indian-origin Americans or "Westernized" Indians) ashamed of being Indians/Hindus. Plenty of them not only reject Hinduism and Indian-ness but they also end up spewing hared towards themselves in order to appear "modern", "civilized", and "acceptable" to their American brethren. This obviously creates friction and resentment among Indians towards the West in general and the US in particular.
