Answers
Answer:
Relations between India and Russia are rooted in history, mutual trust and mutually beneficial cooperation. This is a strategic partnership that has withstood the test of time, and which enjoys the support of the people of both countries.।।
Explanation:
Indo-Russian contact goes back to Nehru’s first visit to Soviet Russia in the 1930s.
Moves by the Western allies – SEATO, the Baghdad Pact and US-Pakistan relations – pushed non-aligned India towards China in 1954 and the Soviet Union in 1955, when exchange visits took place.
The Sino-Indian war (1962) and the Indo-Pakistani wars in 1965 and 1971 furthered the Indo-Russian relationship.
The Indo-Russian Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Co-operation (1971) was viewed with concern by the Western powers.
The Indo-Russian relationship has been challenged in recent times by India’s growing links with the US, but President Trump’s June 2019 termination of the US preferential trade status for India has brought a new element to their bilateral relationship.
Under a more “India First” second Modi Government, India may be provoked into reassessing where its best interests lie.
