There’s never a dull moment in Eurasia. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be skipping the Shanghai Cooperation Summit, soon to be held in Kazakhstan, the long overdue bilateral meeting between India and Russia seems likely in July. This salient expression of India’s multi-alignment comes at a time when heady geopolitical winds have been surging. As far as its old friend Russia is concerned, India must iron out genuine issues that have been haunting the two sides for a few years. says Swasti Rao, Associate Fellow, Europe and Eurasia Center, at the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.

Getting 20-30 percent discount on oil isn’t good enough for you. Don’t behave like an opportunist. This will pass for Russia and then it might solely turn to China. Too much greed isn’t good.

India has to tread very carefully and tactfully. If it appears to be cozying too much to Russia, it will annoy the US & the west who may not help India with the defense upgrades and investments that India desperately needs BUT if it appears to be allied with the US & west, it will upset Russia who will move further in the Chinese camp, which can become a major headache for India in the future. Also, Trump's election in the US may change things for all.

Its good and befitting reply to west-specially USA- by going to Russia as his first proper official visit leaving an occasion of G-20-after forming gov. USA & west propaganda assets have crossed the limits while interfering in Indian elections this time- by even allowing their social media companies to propagate and promote anti gov, anti BJP propaganda only till elections. Modi gov must investigate into this.

Hello Dr. Rao... This is such a detailed rundown of this quite complex & multi entangled subject. Also, it's is to observe that climate change & dwindling resources have been affecting the internal politics of a nation state of late & in larger picture, geo politics too.

India should look for Arrow or NASAM or Patriot Air defence syatem which can be complemented with LRSAM or Barrak8. We have to drop S400 as we have done in the case of SU57.

So if Russia invests the collected rupee back into India, the return on it would be in rupee itself, I guess. What would Russia do with that Rupee

The reality is, something no indians want to admit, India is useless to Russia. Russia is basically forced to sell crude to india because of sanctions. What is russia getting in return? A rupee that noone in the world wants? Why doesnt anyone want rupees? Because you cant buy anything of value with it.

India hurts itself by staying away from SCO meetings! Your strategy will backfire in long run because the world is changing!! China will continue to grow stronger! India and China working together is the best strategy for India future!!

India gains very little in the SCO group we already have bilateral and multilateral arrangement like BRICS and RIC where we can cooperate. Also it was China which changed the status quo on the border so it for China to go back.

If you are really a fan of her work, read her article, the link of which is mentioned in the video's caption. Her analysis offers a nuanced take on India's geopolitical strategies, highlighting PM Modi's decision to skip the SCO summit and his consistent presence at the G7. The potential Modi-Putin summit reflects India's balancing act amid global tensions. Key issues include addressing trade deficits, smoothing rupee-ruble mechanisms, finalizing S-400 deliveries, and dealing with Pakistan's involvement in the INSTC. This multi-alignment approach underscores India's national interests in a rapidly changing global landscape. And Dr. Rao does a fab job of bringing this out.

Well Explained Basic Point But No 4 th Grade Russian Weapons Anymore

The same Russian weapons that helped you win 3 wars against Pakistan and one war against China. US tanks cost 4 times more yet can move around freely in Ukraine due to “technical issues” Look at how the Ukrainian soldiers complain about American equipment. They went back to using their own tanks.

I feel India is not acting smart Ministry of External Affairs should bring bring war to an end. It is hurting Russia as well India should try and bring America and Russia on the same side and isolate China. America will decline if it does not do this

@srinu57 2 күн бұрын

why will russia invest rupees in India! Russia needs money now. Russia must figure out ways to export goods out of India through the rupees. Indian automobile sector, manufacturing, Oil refining, Software exports, agricultual, textile, super markets etc must be opened up in Russia for Indians. Thats the only way to solve this problem.

I understand fully why we are cozying up with Russia, it’s the cheap oil which is doing wonders to India’s balance of payments, but Putin is a monster. Killing thousands and thousands in Ukraine and making more homeless. This is the 21sr century not Middle Ages. Can we invest in solar more heavily and get rid of our dependence on this outcast country and leader?

Can’t do things we are not economically ready for. As much as we want investment in solar , I believe India isn’t ready for such massive investment yet

The Russia-Ukraine war is taking its toll on all parties ..direct and indirect ..and though both want to stop this war without losing face but do not know how. India understands this dilemma and wants to ensure Russia does not become overdependent or even subservient to China as war only drains resources very fast. Hence it makes sense for India to ensure trade goes up so that Russia does not go belly up !!👍

If india wants to be a fish that swims in all oceans, it must be prepared to be uncomfortable. I have no idea what the Indian MEA is thinking. Utter incompetence. Can't handle domestic issues, cant deal with international issues. Opposition parties are clowns. Definitely my india. India can't produce enough fire arms and ammunition but wants to think about advanced weapons systems. I dont know if i should be more disappointed or embarassed.
