My research topic is about the rise of India as a global power. Although India is a country with the most poverty, it is also improving its economy rapidly. My paper will explore the developments in India and how it is gaining the attention of America. The most promising source for my topic is “India’s Rise, America’s Interest” because it has subheadings that are closely related to my topic. Subheadings such as “The Fate of the U.S.-Indian Partnership” and “INDIA’S PIVOTAL TRANSFORMATIONS” show that this source is about the development of India. By skimming through the article, I can see that it talks about a meeting between President Obama and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. It also talks about how India is improving its infrastructure and creating welfare programs.
