Delusional.
The self importance that some Jai Hinds carry along is humongous.
Russia's sole interest with India is the arms sales. The lucrative arms sales powered by the budget of India, after India squeezes the tax revenue out of its fledgling middle class.
Exactly! Jai Hind delusional overload. There are the common idiots, and there are the more educated elites. But all are just as delusional.
India's importance to Russia:
1) Largest customer for Russian defence exports.
China's importance to Russia:
1) Largest trade partner and market for Russia. Defence trade is smaller than India, but not insignificant. Nevertheless, civilian commercial trade is many times larger than India. Anyone with a brain knows that the civilian economy is the backbone of any economy.
2) The only UNSC permanent member who is aligned with Russia.
3) A replacement for the large Western and Japanese markets lost to US pressure and Russophobia.
4) The only major power who is cooperative with Russia. India has never been sensitive to Russia's core interests. If it had, there would be have been no Quad.
5) China & Russia are caught in the same struggle against common enemies. Namely the US and Japan.
6) China has technology that Russia would desire like 5G, HSR, construction technology, EV, etc. What technology can India offer? Cow dung radiation shield? LOL!
7) China is a major source of FDI for Russia. How much FDI has India contributed to Russia?
8) China and Russia are BRI partners. They are working together, trying to building a new alternative, and hopefully fairer world order. While India is hellbent on clinging onto the old world order centered on the supremacy of the Western imperial powers. With delusions that India will be excepted as a peer imperial power among them.
So acoording to Jai Hind logic. Russia is supposed to choose India over China? Russia should be more sensitive to India's feelings than China? But since Russia must be so nice to India, can India return the favour? Like help to restrain Uncle Sam from hurting Russia? Or quit the Quad?
Well off course not! Jai Hinds do not live in reality. Just because Russia is giving a portion of its attention to India. Just because Russia is earning some Indian money from arms exports. They are already thinking that India owns Russia. Only delusion can explain such levels of arrogance.
