This is especially the case nowadays, since India serves the purpose of preemptively averting Russia’s potentially disproportionate dependence on China as a valve from Western sanctions pressure. By backstabbing ...

In the scenario involving the formation of the Eurasian core for the Global South, the main question is its composition and the resulting scenarios of further expansion. One possible modality would be the RIC (Russia-China-India) serving as a core, with further additions focusing on the largest Eurasian economies such as the G20 countries from Eurasia — Saudi Arabia, Indonesia or Turkey. This route would clearly result in the assembly process being slow and lacking connectivity ...

It has maintained a neutral position, keeping India’s sensitivities in mind. And the biggest example was the 1971 war, when it supported India against all odds.
