Russian War-Ukraine: Can The Prolonged Indian Fence Will Be Proven Expensive?

Foreign policy that is not in harmony may passe, but neutrality in the implementation of foreign relations is not.

When the Russian attacks killed in Ukraine entered the second month with many victims and destruction, there was increased pressure in India by the United States to come on their side; However, democracy has the same institution and people, and not oligarchy!

On March 21, US President Joe Biden said at a meeting of business leaders in Washington that among the so-called quad groups, India was “rather faltering” in his response to the invasion of Vladimir Putin to Ukraine.

US, Japan and Australia – Three other members of this coalition were formed to fight China’s influence on the Indo-Pacific – has been “very strong in dealing with Putin aggression”, he said.

Writing Crane Grossman, Senior Defense Analyst at US Corporation: “New Delhi must worry about Moscow’s place too. Sino-Russia’s ties are stronger than before, raising doubts about whether New Delhi can continue to trust Moscow like that when they are in harmony during the Cold War, including Against Beijing. The visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to New Delhi in December produced several real policy results. Instead, the summit was headlined by Moscow shipments from the S-400 air-to-air system. ”

There is a good reason for Biden’s IRE. India has been abstained from voting at the UN three times a week – at a resolution that condemned Russia, allied on the basis of the economy.

Reports of a surge in Indian imports of Russian oil discounts as spiked energy prices after the war, have emerged. India has stopped criticizing Russia called ‘standing long and friends tested’ in the past.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Russia supplied about half of Indian weapons imports between 2015 and 2020. But this imports fell from around 70 percent between 2011 and 2015.

“Among the nations that stood against Russian actions that violated international norms, many wanted to sell weapons while upholding democracy,” said an American official, rather simultaneously, added, “When 141 countries condemned Russian military invasion and operations, India stand on the side. ”

So, Can Indian diplomatic can be expected expensive, especially when Indo-US bilateral bonds have been consolidated in the last or more decade?

The top Indian diplomat remains not moved. Former Foreign Secretary of Office of Kanwal Sibal told MoneyControl: “India goes with the advantages of the situation. A country cannot sacrifice its relationship with Russia because of the Western demands. India is not required to side. When Iraq, Yugolavia, Iran and Syria occur, is India on the right side history? ”

Sibal added: “West Hegemon shows what they can do; confiscated reserves, balancing the bank freezing, capturing the personal qualities of Russian citizens and trying to isolate the country. After all, the US controls the global financial system. The world is watching it.”

Explain the former former Indian Ambassador, Rajiv Bhatia, Self-Policy Study Program, Gateway House: “India is very neutral. The stand is determined by a change situation in Europe. The challenge to remain with the US is not a resolution. India is impartial; it calls on to all parties to solve problems diplomatically. “
