India's Russian dilemma w/ Ravinder Kaur
Added 2022-03-13 09:00:03 +0000 UTCDespite India's deepening alliance with the United States, and the country's regional rivalry with China, the Indian government has refused to join condemnation of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. Ravinder Kaur joins PTO to talk about India's tacit alliance with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, how Russian weaponry continues to be the primary source for India's military, and why there is a striking degree of support for Russia within the country.

Very good. Reminds me of Westad’s description of India as the ‘joker in the pack’ (or words to that effect) in the global Cold War. Also enjoyed the polite, implicit rebuttal of that Guardian piece on a new NAM.
