LOL, both of them sold India to China for Chinese support of Cuba Criss. You can call it "backstabbing".
USSR: stop aid to India, and Khrushchev " we cannot remain neutral...China is our ally".
US: forced Nehru not to use air force.
BTW, China did not support neither of them at that criss, so they started to aid India again after the criss.
The Soviet Union's strong relations with India had a negative impact upon both Soviet relations with the People's Republic of China, and Indian relations with the PRC, during the Khrushchev period. The Soviet Union declared its neutrality during the 1959 border dispute and the Sino-Indian war of October 1962, although the Chinese strongly objected. The Soviet Union gave India substantial economic and military assistance during the Khrushchev period, and by 1960 India had received more Soviet assistance than China had. This disparity became another point of contention in Sino-Soviet relations. In 1962 the Soviet Union agreed to transfer technology to co-produce the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 jet fighter in India, which the Soviet Union had earlier denied to China.
