Whose side is India on? Well, it's complicated. Based on the plushest of red carpets that President Biden rolled out for the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his White House visit in June, one might think the two were the closest of allies. But India has a long history of what it used to call "strategic non-alignment" and now refers to as "multilateralism."
After enduring a century of British colonial rule, it’s understandable that Indians would bristle at being told to enter the fold of one global alliance or another, especially when one side includes their former colonizer. And Indians feel they shouldn’t have to hide behind anyone. This behemoth of a nation just overpassed China to become to most populous country on earth and its rapidly growing economy could overtake Germany and Japan’s within this decade.
The sustainability of that stance has been severely tested, however, in the wake of Delhi's refusal to explicitly condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and critics argue that it's long past time for India to pick a side.

We need more neutral countries like India to balance out the power struggle between china and US. Not every country has ambitions to dominate the world like US and China. India believes in a very ancient concept called vasudev kutumbakam meaning the world is one family. India has never actively attacked any country in last 1000 years unlike other superpowers. Never bullied anyone, never misused their powers and always helped everyone without asking much in return. The world has still not shown the respect it deserves. But we all know good guys are not respected that much anyways in geopolitics its all about who has waged more wars and who has the capability to kill as many people if the war happens.

[@rakeshkrishnan1099]

Its very hard for western intellects to understand this concept, they will just keep on barking

China also has ambitions of dominating India. India and China are actually indulged in a Cold War of their own. It’s entirely due to China’s hostile stance. If they invade India, India and U.S. will enter a formal alliance which will be the most powerful in the world. 🎉

India wants to do business and cooperate with the US, but India does not want to be an ally of anybody in the sense of loosing its freedom to do what is in India's interest and instead doing what is the interest of the US.

[@007nait]

India do not want to be a vassals states of the US ( The EU is the vassal state of the US - no doubt about this) and China and rightly so. It is important that India has its own strategic policies and stays independent.

There is no such concept in the EU. The EU are democratic and support the US when a democracy like Ukraine is invaded. As simple as that. Russia is a genuine vassal of the Chinese, why do we want to be associated with such tinpot dictatorships?

[@breezeanonymous6034]

India is not worth of even being a 'vassal state'. Who would want world's biggest 5th world country to be a 'vassal state'?

[@kshen7485]

Yes, India was colonized before, later it wants to colonize others. But it is lack of capability to do so because of its poor “civilization”, like caste society, corruption, no industrialization, too much young labor force and most importantly the copied democracy and capitalism from the west.

[@anshuecon]

@@kshen7485 India wanting to colonise others. No proof of that BS. As for caste, the current Prime Minister and President are from historically underprivileged castes and tribes (I strongly disapprove of them policy-wise, but this fact is undeniable) and the Constitution was framed by someone from one of the most historically underprivileged castes. No industrialisation? It has the world's third-largest start-up ecosystem, is one of the pioneers in green hydrogen and solar infrastructure, and has some of the world's most dominant pharmaceutical and automotive companies. Britain's famous Jaguar cars are owned and manufactured by the Indian Tata Motors. There go most of your claims. As for "copied democracy and capitalism," it is such a stupid argument that it's best left untouched. India is already the 5th largest economy in the world FYI.

[@kshen7485]

@@anshuecon The track records and history have already told us that any capitalism society and system is mostly greedy and selfish, the invasion, colonization and war would be their common behaviors. India is not exceptional, as a copied democratic country from the west. In addition, nowadays western “democratic” countries are all still the colonists, aren’t they?

India was a co-founder of Non aligned movement. When other countries were joining power blocks of USA or Soviet Union. India, Indonesia, and a few other countries chose to stay neutral and mind their own business. So, end this discussion stop beating around bushes. 😂

[@prateekvaishnav6689]

The map you used in 4:25 is a legally correct map of India (as JnK province was legally annexed to India by the the then ruler Maharaja Hari Singh due to the evil act of Pakistan army led invasion on his province)… and just guess what happens if all that land illegally grabbed or claimed by China and Pakistan really merged with India? We had a direct route to explore or trade to Central Asia and so to the east Europe and from Aksai Chin to Tibet…. But But But despite our Indian leadership told the world our stand with Non-alignment in Cold War situation during those times US constantly sidelined Indian interests and supported Pakistan (as ally) and China (as balancing country) to take a stand against soviet Rus 😢… for what? US pushed India towards USSR we not even have border with USSR and well Soviet Rus helped us in our grave poverty by installing major industries to boost economy and many things but due to this, our dependence on them was clear on many thing… even during 1971 Bangladesh liberation war US acted against India even when Indians were not the aggressor and supported evil Pakistan when Pakistan bleed their own countrymen! So it is complicated as we learn a lot from US and so we agree to disagree with them on many things but we are solely bonded by interests ☮️

India drives a courageous path unlike most other countries, India stands alone for its own benefit.

[@kc4276]

India has literally said (in the most direct manner) that it is not an ‘ally’ of any country. India doesn’t believe in alliances (in the military sense). I don’t understand why these ‘experts’ want to complicate things unnecessarily. Also: An additional reason why India isn’t a US ally is America’s decades long love affair with Pakistan. People who are unaware should read up about how the US nearly bombed India because of a war between India and Pakistan.

3:56 India is the largest buyer of arms in general. The US and its allies refused to sell them stuff and so they had to go to Russia to buy things. Only France was smart enough to not follow that policy and now they are enjoying a privileged position in that market. India hasn't bought a lot of stuff from Russia in the last decade, and the biggest beneficiary of that has been France. The US could have had that position but instead chose to fund Pakistan billions of dollars in military aid which allowed to buys things like F-16s, while the Indians were buying Mirages and Sukhois.

As an Indian, I would say USA & India are certainky walking on two different paths but there are times when our values & interest overlap thus we are cooperating well with each other. As for building Alliance and all, Indian politics doesn't believe in Alliance and haven't been part of any since independence. I hope USA-India realtionships keep improving as it will help both countries to contain China & it's Communist, Expantionist ideology which is defenitly a threat to Free & Open world we demand. Only one problem, I have with USA, EUROPE( basically all of west) is that they comment on our internal issues(mostly left wing govt.) like Religious Equality and almost try to force same version of democratic values which work in USA but from our point of view, that might not work for India as we have many different challenges. They do it all to enforce their image of "World police" & Liberal, Righteousness that Left seem to obsess about.

[@shantanushekharsjunerft9783]

US and UK attacked another democratic country send naval ships and Nuclear powered Aircraft carriers to attack India and support Pakistani army who are killing, and raping millions of people in Bangladesh. This is when USSR (a communist country) saved India ( a democratic country) from being attacked by other democratic countries, and saved Soveranity of India.

US preferred a military dictator in the neighbourhood to pump money and weapons over the past 70+ years and we all know how that relationship has come now. 4. Most importantly that military neighbourhood had been waging a proxy terrorist war against India for the past many decades using US funds and ammunition...never saw US or Europe ever being so touchy about that like they are now in Ukraine. 5. Part of India's legal territory is still under illegal occupation of Pakistan and China. Its fine for them to sit on illegal land but all hell breaks loose when part of Ukraine is annexed by China. Smells hypocrisy, doesnt it? So yeah, maybe India is on the side of itself. Looking after its own national interests. That shouldnt bother the west coz India is a very dependable and loyal friend and it still believes that the world is one family. It helps the poorer parts of the world with vaccines and humanitarian help when the develeoped nations think of their interests first.

Why are you showing my country India's map wrong if you don't know about my country map you should Google it and yes we have long history ties with Russia's because when we are defending our borders from Pakistan invasion 1950 your president ordered an attack on India by us aircraft carrier which was very near to India ocean then Russia help us and protected as from the attack by sending the submarine and when United States was a fan of pakistan it won't ask or deny the fact of our existence and till date they ask nonsense questions on human rights violations and minority rights which is absolutely baseless becouse if India wasn't given freedom right to anything then they pm modi wouldn't be a pm for the second time today where India stand it not important for world it's magician and power important for United States too and the map of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are union territory of India and the pok and China's illegal occupation on aksai chin is also an Indian territory

Rest of the world knows Pakistan is ruled by military dictatorship where there is no democracy. Still USA doesn't condemn or criticize Pakistan. Pakistan's regime change, killing or torturing of opposition are not matter of concern according USA. India should never be an ally of hypoocrite USA. Russia was there during our crucial times. Russia doesn't interfere in our internal issues.
