K.C. Singh | As Biden & Putin jostle, where does India stand?

Deccan Chronicle  

Five months after the Ukraine war started, its international ramifications are still unfolding. Five days later, Russian President Vladimir Putin, travelling abroad only for the second time after Ukraine war, landed in Iran for both a bilateral visit as well as a three-way summit that included Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. High fuel costs in the US, as the mid-term election approaches in November, made Mr Biden swallow his words about isolating Saudi Arabia and treating their Crown Prince as a “pariah”. India’s strategic alignment with two US-led groups will only make it more difficult to play along with Iran in the Gulf and West Asia as well as to keep India-Russia relations evenly balanced. In the UAE’s case, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sensibly chose to stop over in Abu Dhabi, using the pretext of condoling the death of the elder half-brother of current President Mohammed bin Zayed, to bury the Nupur Sharma issue.
