The Obama administration should therefore use its remaining two years to make India a greater priority, especially since the country has not yet figured prominently in the rebalancing of U.S. attention and resources to Asia.

That appearance of neglect, however fair or unfair, has rankled Indian officials and eroded some of their trust in Washington.
