Yes indeed. Though the Indian foreign policy has inclined favourably towards the US in the recent past, the US does not view India as a 'strategic ally' (like Japan, S. Korea, UK and Australia). Therefore with its own interests at stake, the US conveniently vetoed Tharoor's nomination. With Ban Ki Moon, a South Korean at the helm, the US will be able to leverage major decisions in its favour.

one,Of course, US always doesn't view INDIA to be a good ally.
this is becoz. india never readily accepts war and harsh policies and follows NON-ALIGNMENT.this is why we are not a permanent member in UN SECURITY COUNCIL.
two,north korea's nuke prog. is of great concern for US.
by making a south korean as sec.gen.it will put more PRESSURE.
also ban-ki-moon will prove to be a puppet if US decides to fight iran.
