India has been the victim of Pakistan sponsored terrorism that Islamabad has upgraded with highest degree of radicalization in Jammu and Kashmir , and the US has been fighting terrorism with a greater vigour after the 9/11 . The Indian and America democracies are natural partners in the fight against terrorism, because this menace has threatened the existence of the democracy , to which Pakistan is alien.
The US has suffered because of the duplicity in its so-called “ war against terror” . Pakistan has taken billions of dollars from America for its flimsy fight against terror, while it has nourished and created new universities of terror . the terrorists have done great damage to the American efforts to bring peace in Afghanistan – Taliban is not a proxy of Pakistan , it is direct face of Pakistan army .
India , has suffered from Pakistan sponsored terrorism.
