Why? Because you say so? Who makes the decision on whats right for India? The elected representative govt of India or PDF Pakistanis?



Based on what information? What news or statements from world leaders, bodies etc that suggests that India is not considered neutral?
And what alliance with the US? Care to share details of such a formal alliance that Pakistanis know of that Indians don't?


When you start with an IF, youre playing fortune teller...Everything else after that is your opinion, not fact!

.

How do you explain 1962? There was no US in the picture then...




I ask you again, where is the strain in relations? How has India been affected negatively by this supposed strain?
Being friends with Pakistan is not automatically a strain in India-Russia relations.
If Russia was actively trying to hurt India (say by proposing to put it on a terror grey list) then maybe a case could be made.
Got any examples you would like to share?




This is a strain in relations? Its bettering Pak-Russia relations, but doesn't affect India negatively at all!


You kind of busted your own bubble with this example. This is a clear cut example of Indian neutrality.
Where the **** is the, India is in the US and Israeli camp if the Palestinians are giving us the red carpet after Netanyahus visit?
" Denial " is something that india needs to get out of. The earlier the better. The only thing indian agrees on this forum are if we all start saying that India is a super power and Modi the best thing ever happened to it.
If you still believe that things between India and Russia are same as they were 10 years ago , than my friend either you are naive or foolish, you being an indian automatically qualify for the later.

When was the last time you did something serious against the USA?
The last time India conducted a surgical strike in Pakistan and defeated China at Doklam.

Actually it is Pakistan which faced grave humiliation from Russia as Putin openly rejected visit to Pakistan:

Also 2017 VRICS declaration named Pakistan

How does a Putin's visit humiliate Pakistan? Thats just your opinion.

However Indian humiliation is a fact.

We Always getting closer but not close enough. They need to talk SU57 else we ain't interested

Russia has been providing engines for JF-17s. Are JF-17s meant for counter-terrorism ?
JF-17 has been used effectively in CT Ops. The tech of this multi dimensional plane is now evolving into Block III.

Russia-Pakistan relations grow warmer and this has to do with India how?
Pakistan and Russian relations might be good for India as well. Our outstanding issues can be solved by involvement of regional powers not with USA i always believed.
 
.
I think what Russia is expecting and what Pakistan is expecting from their growing relationship are not the same. Pakistan thinks that it can turn Russia against India. How? I have no idea.

Pakistan had no such intentions, Pakistan never went India isolation missions like your PM. Its Russia who is turning to Pakistan because of India's unstable foreign policy

modi need to go again at delhi fort and try once more isolation :rofl:
 
.
If that's how Pakistan see's diplomacy, no wonder it's in this state. What is this so-called trust? Did India sell any Russian secrets? Russia is friend of China, so did India ever objected it? Our relation with one country do not work based on the interest of another country. S-400 stuff is laughable though.

If this is the mentality of your government,than I think you will be left alone.russia has much better relations with China than india.also there were reports that Russian submarine leased by Russia to India,was inspected by the Americans or Britain.do not talk about secrets.russia is slowly moving away from indian centric policy.pakistan have Chinese Sams.russian Sams are no big deal.money is problem.

U didn't get my point...After fooling 1 billion bhartis thr' Indian media that Russians have cancelled the exercise....

Exercise happened. They arrived.

And? How did that affect India negatively?

" Denial " is something that india needs to get out of. The earlier the better. The only thing indian agrees on this forum are if we all start saying that India is a super power and Modi the best thing ever happened to it.

All that is your opinion and it’s fine to help you sleep at night...

But you’re yet to show me where India was negatively affected as a result of Russian actions.
Your ally, the US for which you brought the Afghan war into your home is out to put you on the terror list.
Now that is an example of a change in relationship...
What exactly has Russia done to hurt India or vice Versa?

Our relationship with Russia is NOT dependent on your relationship with Russia. Show me otherwise.

Like I said, our relation with Russia is not based on Russia's relationship with another country. If that's how we did diplomacy then we will not be having a good relationship with Israel and Arab world vis Iran. There is no issue bigger than that.

Secondly, the Russian sub inspected by brits/Americans was proved to be a fake news made by some French or Swedish arms lobby, I think you missed few headlines.

Russian policy wasn't India centric, their sole aim was to trump the Americans on all fronts and America's greatest ally in the region was Pakistan. Good old days when your scientists were trained in NASA when you were the mediator between Chinese and Americans etc...
But the cold war is long gone. Now, everything boils down to trade, national interest, and money. Now, Russians are barely staying afloat, Chinese have plans of their own and believe me, Russians are not some iron brother of China, they have enough disputes on table. They just don't go neck on neck.

And? How did that affect India negatively?

It brings the reality down on Indians that your blown hot air is not enough to impress Russians or others...They knew it was just hot air - nothing else.

Reality check was given that day and since relations are on upward trajectory b/w Pakistan and Russia
