Prime Minister Modi’s delicate balancing act between the West and Russia

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on his first foreign visit since re-election, travelling to Moscow where President Putin bestowed upon him Russia's highest award during a ceremony at the Kremlin. This meeting drew scrutiny from the US and Ukraine and was no doubt closely watched by China and it underscores India’s growing importance on the world stage.

TRT World - India is also deeply concerned about Turkey’s relation with Azerbaijan and the death of innocent civilians including children in Armenia. Turkey has been supporting and arming Azerbaijan with drones and military equipment against Armenia. India would like to urge Turkey to use its influence and impress upon Azerbaijan not to change the status quo in Nagorno-Karabakh and immediately cease hostilities.

[@enchantularity]

Malaysia, Turkiye, and Pakistan are reviving to get the Ottoman Empire back. Turkiye won't listen to any same voice. Arming Armenia by India for her self defence is the rightway to go.

They haven't been included in the EU. They are not a member. Based on the statistics of anti-social activities in Europe, muslims rank number one in all bad or negative indicators.

Its an abhorrence to watch David melting with uncontrolled superiority complex and inability to accept India's true strength. He used everything in his toolkit which is not 22 years old, but a century old. India to them is a country that is 'dependent' on the West either directly or through the diaspora. It's good in a way that the Western pompous can live in their cloud mansions while India reasserts her wealth and knowledge, and brings everyone along. Russia's imperialist intention is better than US's exceptionism and China's expansionism.

[@royenlawyer6045]

The last comment by Mr. Bijoria “I hope that was not a threat by David” sums up the debate. It puts the western arrogance vs the Indian confidence in to perspective.

[@SaurabhSingh-pp6ys]

Just wanted to correct the English guest : He used the sentence Modis role in Gujarat Muslim Massacre. First of all it was an unfortunate event where rioters mostly from the Hindu community were out of control in reaction to equally brutal massacre of Hindu pilgrims returning back from Ayodhya were burnt alive in a bogy after a minor scuffle at Godhra station. I don't know the figure but more than hundred were burnt alive inside the bogy of Sabarmati Express. Yes it was impossible for Modi who was a very fragile Chief Minister at that time to order police to fire the rioters in Ahmedabad and undoubtedly many innocent lives of our innocent muslim brothers/ sisters were lost in that incident. Still after 2-3 days of rioting police controlled the situation. Now look at 0ctober 9 th incident of Israel. Did US condemned Netanyahu what he did after that. Did US sanctioned Netanyahu. Would Israel do a trial his own generals who killed kids in Gaza. No because it was done in reaction of equally brutal incident in October.

Without any doubt Modiji has aligned India more towards democratic powers or broadly west and that is natural India being democracy and has same values. But at the same time he is responsible directly responsible to the concerns of poor/ middle class but educated and aspiring 1.4 billion people who are very price/ inflation sensitive and have voted him to power. He can not afford to face the ire of Indian middle class youth and farmers hence can not afford higher prices of food/ fertilizers and daily commute.
