Re: India ready to cancel Rafale, if France refuses to supply Mistral
India does not live in Europe. Some Generals may like France but what is good for France is not necessarily good for India.
India must weigh all external relations. India is an Asian country. India has to live in its unique Asian environment.Some might see this as India batting for Russia, but I see this as a simple case. France must not be encouraged to refuse to abide a contract that it has signed. If France does this with Russia today, it will do the same thing with India tomorrow. Indian taxpayers' money is not to be squandered away on those that will hold it for months and then refuse to supply whatever has been paid for.
