India turns down US persuasion to vote against Russia
WASHINGTON: India, a key ally in the US-led effort to contain China, has joined Beijing in abstaining from a UN Security Council (UNSC) vote demanding an immediate Russian withdrawal from Ukraine.
Diplomatic observers in Washington see this as a clear indication that India would not strain its relations with an old ally, Russia, to please its new partner, the United States.

Will the QUAD survive this? I suspect not. Lets see. India has the right to decide what is in her best interests but so do the other members of the QUAD.
A great of time, money and political will has been spent in the last 30years to build up India and it seems that push comes to shove - India cannot be relied upon. What is the point of all of those IT outsourcing dollars to build up the Indian economy and what guarantee is there she will do the needful against China? None - and the politicans are now starting to realise this.
There has been a lot of commentary on this - and one that will be actioned on once this firefighting stage is over and done with.
