The latter still makes the news in the West sometimes, not every year. HNers from those countries might give us some insights about how much their people feel it important.

A lot has changed over the years. While the soviets were supplying India and propping up their puppet state in Afghanistan the US used Pakistan as a proxy.
But by the time the US were hunting Bin Laden a lot had changed and support has been trailing off.
Now most recently Trump has been growing the US pro-Israeli - and basically being broad-stroke anti-every-kind-of-muslim - policy and actions in the gulf and has put the now-meagre levels of ongoing US aid to Pakistan completely on hold.

Maybe this time the us would back India as part of a proxy war.
The thing is, the US doesn't want partners; it wants allies. And that's too big of a commitment for India to make. This is basically the central tension that keeps US-India relations from moving too fast.
