As long as we have troops in Afghanistan, unless we are prepared to kowtow to Russia for alternative resupply routes, Pakistan has leverage to be a major nuisance as long as we use their soil for resupply. India has beaten Pakistan every time they go to war, they just never keep the captured territory. Indian interests align well with America's, there are many reasons to grow this relationship outside of irking Pakistan
