History tells us that, if any country India can trust, it is Russia. In this new age, while building ties with other countries especially U.S and many European countries, India should not forget its loyal friend- Russia. US can take a U-turn anytime, so will follow its European allies. Our hostile relationship with Pakistan, will always keep Muslim dominated countries away from us. And, China does not seem to be friendly enough, as long as Tibetan issue & other border issues solved.
Therefore, India should have a more closer economic & strategic partnership with Russia. Russia & India can compliment each other in many fronts. This can be successful only if we take this relationship beyond the state level. In this regard, the business to business & people to people level interactions and partnerships becomes more important.
Tellingly, Indo-Russian bond should be made stronger rather than compromised for some other dicey relationships.
And, the current Privileged Strategic Agreement is a welcome development.
