Sorry to hear that you are sold out on a pipe dream. France is far more favorable to India than Russia and always has been. India should focus on developing skill and expertise and export this to France and Russia.
We haven't sold out in pipe dreams. I was talking about circumstances of relationship between India and Russia.
A typical Pipe dream is relationship with Western countries. First you set your own house in order, whole europian union faltering in front of Russia. You guys thrown Ukraine to beast and ran away. Ukraine is a dead country now. Georgia is a dead country now. Syria will haunt you for decades to come. you guys can't even stop Erdogan who is violating Greece and Cyprus on daily basis.
Even poor European fellas can't afford breaking tie with Russia and you genius suggesting us the same here.
France is valuable friend of India I agree. But tell me what France has offered us except government to government deals?? Show us any legacy of France in India??
Top on that colonist legacy of Europe yet to be forgotten by Indians.
So don't order us what should be do or not... Better explain
