These days, New Delhi similarly refuses to toe the American line on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. India’s import of cheap Russian oil continues to break records. Anyone who wants to see Indian leaders stand up and publicly assail the Kremlin — one of their main suppliers of weaponry and a valuable source of raw materials — is in for a long wait.

Anurag Kashyap, one of India’s most celebrated filmmakers, told me that producers are being asked to make films to government spec. “Powerful Hindu nationalist groups like the RSS [Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh] are meeting producers and telling them what films are to be made so it can empower the government’s own agenda,” Kashyap said.
You don’t understand Indian history. Jawahalal Nehru aligned with Russia after independence and there is a long history of support from the Soviet Union. The US did nothing to endear itself to India during that time.

Why is India turning their backs on us?
Mody is a populist dictator and dictators tend to like each other.
Also, Indian Americans are one of the most educated communities in the US - could be one of the reasons they are democrats. But I've met a few who were conservatives. One of them is a doctor but switched to Democrat after the Trump's administration mishandling Covid. I feel the same way about Chinese Americans who were raised here in the US - are so different from those who are raised in China.

Lol. You might want to look up China’s strategy for dominating the Indian Ocean and its strand of pearls strategy.
Tell me why India is voluntarily part of The Quad again?
