A few decades ago there existed two super powers in the world. USA and USSR (spearheaded by Russia). Though not openly, India decided to ally with USSR. It needs to be mentioned that India formed NAM (Non-Alignment Movement) for peaceful co-existence. But at most of the instances India failed to remain neutral and sided with USSR. The Moscow Olympic held in 1980 was boycotted by many countries as a protest against the invasion of USSR in Afghanistan. That boycott was led by USA. Pakistan also joined them. But India actively participated in the Moscow Olympics.
After the fall of USSR, Russia is carrying forward the legacy of USSR. And India is also maintaining close tie with this nation. It’s true that Russia is no more a super power like America. Yet India can gain a lot by its close tie with Russia. Though at the present time, India is also trying to develop close tie with America, we have enough reasons to believe that America can never be as trustworthy as Russia.
We have a history of mutual cooperation with Russia. And Russia always can be a partner of progress for India. We hope that the visit of Putin will initiate a new phase of relationship between India and Russia. Any comments from Proud Indians ?
