Game of Friendship and Enmity..!
india in Trouble..!?
The impact of Russia-Ukraine tensions is visible around the world. Stock markets are collapsing one by one, and crude
oil prices are rising. Gas prices are also likely to rise. Despite all this,
india has not yet responded to Russia. The
government of
india has appealed to all parties to exercise restraint. There are many reasons behind this attitude. Although
russia emerged as a superpower once again after the war, it was an old loyal friend to India. But
india is concerned about the Russia-China alliance.
China seems to have fully sided with
russia during the
ukraine conflict. For the past two years,
china has been known to trouble
india over the dispute in the LAC, which borders eastern Ladakh.
india was absent during the voting against
russia in the United Nations Security Council. But
india is still not in favor of
russia or NATO-backed
ukraine, including the United States.
india is opposed to war. At the United Nations,
china is one of only three countries abstaining from voting against
russia, apart from India. The third country is the United Arab Emirates (UAE). But China's public support for
russia has brought a new headache for India. However, in this game of friendship and enmity, there is concern that
india will be torn somewhere. Political analysts expect the trouble to escalate as Pakistani
prime minister Imran Khan was also in
moscow on the day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
India may have signed a ceasefire agreement with
pakistan last year for peace on the Line of Control, but
pakistan has never given up its nature. Therefore,
india is also closely watching the rapidly changing global conditions. The
indian Foreign Secretary was also serious about the global tensions arising due to the
ukraine war. He responded that the conditions for political mobilization between nations have changed. Global tensions have risen.
If this is the case, then
india is in the 60s, when
russia and the
united states were embroiled in a Cuban missile dispute and
china invaded
india and snatched the Aksai Chin. The same conditions are repeated today. This is because the Chinese PLA
army has been camping once again for the past two years in the LAC, which borders eastern Ladakh. The Chinese on the other side of eastern Ladakh is believed to have a large number of tanks, artillery, missiles, and warplanes, including more than 50,000 Chinese troops. This is the reason why
india is deploying 50,000 troops, weapons, and other military equipment on par with China.
Is
india the reason for this attitude? In the ongoing tensions between
russia and
ukraine at present, the main reason why
india does not take any side is the good relations between the two countries. Defense ties between
ukraine and
pakistan are also very strong.
ukraine supplies T 80D tanks to Pakistan. In response,
india had to move pieces quickly to get T90 tanks from Russia. A former
army officer has been appointed Pakistan's ambassador to
ukraine for the past decade. The friendship between
pakistan and
ukraine has been strengthened.
Pakistan hopes to buy 300 T90 tanks from
russia in 2018. But it refused. Then in 2019,
india gave the green signal for the purchase of these tanks. Unable to buy arms from
pakistan,
pakistan turned to Ukraine. On the other hand, economic relations between
china and
ukraine have also strengthened since 2014. But politically it seems to be standing with Russia. However,
india has in a way agreed to Russia's demand for security guarantees for NATO, citing the security interests of all countries at the United Nations.
russia plays an important role in supplying defense hardware to India.
india does not want such a move to bring
moscow and
beijing closer to each other.
