The internal coherence of India's seemingly contradictory stance on Russia

Live Mint  

Hectic buying of Russian crude now makes up 25% of India’s energy imports. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the clearest assessment and articulation of India’s interests has come from former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who, writing in The Hindu, called for distance to be maintained with Russia-China, while emphasising that India’s economic future lies in aligning with the US-led western trade and economic order and democratic values. Yet, there is no justification for war With the certainties of the Cold War long fallen, New Delhi, which kept its own counsel both in 2008 and in 2014 finds itself caught in a cleft stick when, as a non-permanent rotating member of the UN Security Council, instead of voting against Russia’s action of invading a sovereign country, India chose to abstain, not once but thrice, when similar motions were taken up in the UN General Assembly and at the Human Rights Council. Testifying on India-US relations before Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Near East, South Asia, Central Asia, and Counterterrorism, in an attempt to explain the Indian abstention in the General Assembly vote, American Assistant Secretary of State Donald Lu told lawmakers that America’s relationship with India is one of the defining partnerships that will determine the security of Asia, the United States and the world. Simply put, Jaishankar was saying India’s immediate interest was getting 22,500 Indians evacuated from Ukraine, no mean challenge with the war underway, with more than half of them in the eastern part of the country bordering Russia which bore the brunt of the Russian aggression.
