Southeast Asia, would reveal an even more lopsided picture.

George Fernandes, Indian defense minister, recently singled out radical Noam
Chomsky as an American whose views he particularly admired, an admission that
must surely have raised eyebrows in the Pentagon. Fernandes' assumption of the
defense portfolio from the unabashedly pro-American Jaswant Singh in the weeks
after September 11 prompted new questions about the durability of the enhanced
defense ties between the two countries. See
India Abroad,
9 Nov. 2001, for the
Chomsky reference. For a recent look at how culturally-induced images influenced
US-India relations in an earlier era, see Rotter,
Comrades at Odds
(note 4).
