§

1921

His statement that "India and the U.S. can be natural allies in the 21st century" struck a chord in the U.S. administration.

President Clinton's visit to India and then the return visit of the Indian Prime Minister put a feel on it.

I witnessed a very fine chapter in the Indo-U.S. relations.

1997

1997 was a ‘feel good’ time – we were celebrating 50 years of Independence - there were series of functions and events – in fact we had more functions in the U.S. than in India.

1998

The major challenge came in May 1998 - dealing with the nuclear test.

I remember going from one studio to another – TV, radio, and press – in addition to dozens of meetings in the Senate and the Congress.

That was the most difficult and a very challenging period of my tenure here.

Then began the rounds of discussions between Indian delegation, led by Jaswant Singh, and the U.S. delegation led by Talbot.

I was present in every meeting and throughout.

We saw the scene develop from a very tense dialogue into a very friendly and frank exchange of views.

This brought about stability and progress in a positive direction in our relations with the U.S.
