Asia as the Opportunity for Delhi and India as the Opportunity for Washington

Political and strategic behaviors of the new leadership of India in the political arena, represents the high political expectations of Delhi. There is no doubt that India is facing two options. The first option which is in favor of the political nature and status of India, is raising the level of competition with China and implementing a new competitive dialogue to explore and achieve new goals and opportunities in Asia and the world. The second option is to break the political taboos in India and starting a new season with removing tensions in its relations with China and Pakistan.
Moscow soon noticed the changes in New Delhi and therefore tries to play with the Pakistan's card including signing a recent contract with this country on the energy and omitting the sanction on military sales to Islamabad tries to prevent the changes in Delhi's policies. 
An important point is that Delhi would not be able to select the mentioned first option without the support of Washington.
India will definitely have enough potential to be able to replace China in the Asia and maybe the global arena in the future. But what is possible to make the Hindi potential attractive, is the relatively hostile competition between India and China. So the increase of this competition in Asia will lead Delhi to change as the balance wheel of Asia. Undoubtedly, the balance wheel theory, the aim of which is to distribute of power in a way that prevents a country from being a superpower and can be found as a means to curb the growing power of Beijing in Asia.
But what should be noted is that the relationship between Pakistan and India should not be worse than what it is, because the increased competition between Pakistan and India will increase the costs in Delhi and this reduces their ability to compete with China, therefore there is no doubt that the winner of a hostile rivalry between India and Pakistan would definitely be Beijing.
