False. India is becoming culturally jingoistic but far more liberal economically than what it was a few decades ago. That brings it closer to US economic model.
>The US views Pakistan as an important strategic ally.
US viewed Pakistan as a strategic ally, mainly during Cold War era when India was tilted towards USSR (friendship pact etc).
Ultimately, "antagonism towards China" can outweigh the differences if China continues on its current path.

We'll probably view Pakistan as less of a strategic ally the further we get from the Iraq Wars temporally
1. the US is becoming increasingly liberal and India is becoming increasingly jingoistic/illiberal.
2. The US views Pakistan as an important strategic ally.
