When it comes to India's defense...there should be no compromise..At this time, many countries are eager to sell India some weapons but they are not really reliable .They are on financial pressure due to th very slow economy and deflation and want to make profit.
A steadfast, reliable friend has been and is Russia whose values, ideas and worldview matches with India'a and there is no possibility of enmity between Russia and India. India should co-produce high tech weapons with Russia and that is the best way to make military stronger.
We don't need a nation selling us high tech weapons and depriving us of spare parts when we need them.

Russia is not the USSR. They need money, and they'd rather India purchase the T-90 than the Arjun. You know my position on that issue.

I don't agree with much of what the guy is saying.

Russia Welcomes India's Decision to Go For More Nuke Energy - The New Indian Express

 

[sgarg]

Actually quite a shock to me to see this interview. Never thought that Russians are so antagonistic to Modi.

This kind of attitude is all the more reason that India must develop and manufacture its weapons. It is hard to depend on people who come from other cultures and most of your energy goes into convincing them.

It seems Russians think that India will go to West aggressively. I do not think that is the case. The fact is Modi is Russia's best hope for cooperation and both Putin and Modi are nationalistic leaders.

This interview is a huge letdown.

 

[sgarg]

Maybe BJP government has been slow to engage Russia. I hope that there is a better dialog between Indian and Russian governments.

However Russians must realize that making fun of a head of State of another country on a State sponsored media channel is not the right way to do business. The correct way is to use diplomatic channels if there are problems in the relationship.

I believe that India has to STOP building relations on the basis of arms purchases. India must develop people to people contacts and common interests.

I don't think RT didn't like Modi, but I think RT didn't like what Modi was doing in not so friendly country.

Russia should stop b****ing about it. Russia cannot dictate, in fact no country in this world can dictate India's foreign policy. Russia itself was sitting in the US' lap after dissolution of the USSR. India never complained about Russian weapons export to China, did we?

This interviewer was earlier criticizing Putin and Russia's policy on Ukraine/Crimea on RT channel..
Do you think she would have any problem in criticizing Modi.
If anything it shows parts of RT are not controlled by the Russi govt.

TASS: Economy - Russia-India working group to consider ground transportation of hydrocarbons

 

[prohumanity]

Not engaging with India is going to hurt Russian economy more than Indian economy. WHY ? Because US is hell bent to damage Russian economy and western Europe can not say or do anything which US does not like. Morever, a lot of nations are trying to sell weapons to India, US want to sell javelin missiles, Europe is eager to sell Eurofighter jets if Rafael deal falls apart...they are lobbying hard...India itself is trying to make high tech weapons at home. US is not willing to transfer technology at his point and that's where Russia can get an upper hand by offering joint manufacturing with TOT.Oh..by the way, the euphoria you saw about Modi in USA is mainly created by liberal young people and Indian- Americans who number 3.5 million and still has a lot of positive feelings towards their native motherland. US media was critical or at best, cold and indifferent just like average American who prefers his beer and potato chips to anything which activates his Brain.

Russia is very important to India and India is very important to Russia. India must make very serious effort to improve relationship with Russia. And this involves improving relationship with China too.

India must participate in building pan-Asia road and rail connectivity so that goods can move freely overland. The movement of goods overland will reduce dependence on sea and will reduce influence of West over Asian trade.

Indian government has to think about what is good for India, the people who live here. The people who have emigrated from India become of marginal interest.

We as an Asian country and other large country on this great landmass are Russia and China. It is very important for India to collaborate with Russia and China in developing Asian infrastructure.
