Gravitas: Is India's neutrality on Ukraine backfiring?

The US is hoping that China will help the west isolate Russia. Moscow is hoping that China will help them evade western sanctions. Has India's neutrality backfired? Will the US & Russia now help India contain China? Palki Sharma tells you.

"India is not easy to predict... their ancient philosophy". That's what Putin said to the media in the presence of Narendra Modi. They both laughed as did everyone at the press conference. Has Non-Alignment served India in a good way in the past or not? Are there compelling and critical reasons for India to take sides from which she can benefit in the long run? America continues to harp on "America First". Let India concentrate on domestic problems of poverty, agriculture, industry, energy, upgraded and advanced defense system first. India should have a comfortable level of self-reliance before poking her nose in major international crises. Don't forget that both the US and Russia are eager to have a good relationship with India.

Imagine if Africa was a single country, but poorer, very few natural resources, and about the same population stuffed in a much smaller landmass. You’d have India. Economic growth will take a very long time and industrialization has little chance of getting far. If India wants to protect itself from China/Pakistan in all aspects, territorial and cultural as well as ecological, it needs to prioritize military strength through whatever means possible.

If China wins Taiwan, they will have the capability of dropping nuclear submarines off the coast of Taiwan, And pop up right on the coast of America and we would never have been able to tell. Right now off their coast we can see all the submarine launches due to it being shallow seas, There are but 2 big powers/wars left, over Russia, and China, I suggest India gets on the right side of history if they wish to be on top after the dust settles.

Because Europe has levied Sanctions on Russia and are on the side of West(U.S), unlike India's neutrality. As for America fears India's indirect relations with Russia and it's soft corner to India. US is pressurizing India to take a stand instead of being neutral. Although in some places even Russia will stay neutral when it comes to China-Ind issues as China has backed Russia and is helping somehow to revive the drowning economy and also not to forget it's ineffective helping measures in evacuating Indians as majority of help was done by the Ukrainian govt to evacuate stranded people. So yes Russia too is hypocrite. America and NATO will only send troops to it's allied countries or participate in war unless some nations threaten American security or its ally nation's and try to launch an attack. The reason for Iraq invasion was terrorism. That is why even though Indian and American trade is boosting over the years it wants India to be on it's side and Capitalist Country always looks opportunity to do business by gathering nations. India being clever will always watch it's move carefully. If dealing with Russia benefits India it should.

Yes, India should only accept their sanctions if US can give better discounts. Otherwise, the US has to sanction Pakistan and China for India to do it.

Russia is definitely finished without China's help. Highly globalized China is finished without US/EU trade. If China "plays good" with US and it's allies, India is finished no matter what. Better go at it by themselves.

[@samyakhp4353]

Europe can use Russian oil/ Russian gas, but India can't? Such double standards! Rich countries in Europe want Russian oil to keep their inflation under control, but they expect the people of a poor country like India to bear the brunt of inflation? (Which is already high after COVID and Russia Ukraine war).

[@turokshift3586]

EU-> it's not inflation control , it's about not having an alternative for the energy needs. Dont know about India but I thought they only import 3% of their oil from Russia? ( and for EU its 40% or more) So yes maybe for India it's a matter of choice while for the EU it's not.

[@Leopold_van_Aubel]

Europe has no other choice. India has. Also, Europe pays the normal price. It's not jumping on a cheap offer.

As much as we are saddened of what is happening to Ukraine. We want to live too. Huge oil price increase causes death due to hunger in poor countries too. Call us selfish but we have to stand with our Own country and people too.
