If you read the article thats exactly the point article wants to make.Shia oil, Sunni Wahhabi oil is as stupid as another article about India-Saudi energy relationship was a marriage made by Allah.
Other than having a sensationalist headline, it masks the realities.
Infact, we have had a much better relationship with the Saudis in the past eight years than Iran. Foreign relations are based around national interests and who ever puts ideological blinkers around their eyes will loose in the long run.
We are siding with Iran, not because we have some shias (how does it matter) or civilizational ties( yeah they killed us in loads)
but because of strategic interest.
Iran govt and Indian govt understands it, but outside they talk all the above bullsh*t(at least Indian govt does)
