I think we are seeing a US policy since Bush II of polarization (with us or against us). India increasingly leaned towards USA/West which I think is natural too. But India lost traditional ally USSR/Russia in the process. The power balance in Asia is upset which may not get restored without some upheaval.
Either India grows stronger and protects its turf; or India makes concessions to neighbours. We will see soon which India emerges from these turbulent times.
Russia has suffered tremendously after crimea annexation,
now even turkey is playing Russia like anything,
turkey irked NATO by buying S400,
before that Russian ambassador
Andrei Karlov
was shot dead,
and now Turkish drones doing naagin dance in Libya over Russians,
and we bought s400 from Russia as just part of balancing act we do and use Russia's veto power,
Russia will remain neutral,
and again we were friends with USSR not RUSSIA,
we paid that friendhip kindly by amending our constitution with SSR,
SOCIALIST SECULAR and INTEGRITY in preamble
and all this OFB and DPSUs u see are part of that socialist strategy,
that friendship has the blood and sweat of everyone here,
that made us go begging to WB two times,
and this socialist word was the one responsible what we had seen in the economic independence of our country in 1991 under PV Narsimha rao, not the clown Manmohan singh.
Our economies with china were equal till then but they opened there market before us.
While we were busy in trade unionism and labour laws strengthening on USSR model,
We suffered on human development and were charged on will by Russians for our defence at exorbitant rates.
