Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Moscow stirred significant global attention.

Modi ’s embrace of Russian President Vladimir Putin elicited strong condemnations from critics.

The India - Russia bond, forged during the Cold War , remains robust.

Modi aims to position India as a pivotal power, sought after by both democracies and autocracies.

For India , strengthening this relationship is not just about trade, it's about securing India 's strategic interests.

Putin is using his diplomatic outreach to assert his vision of a declining U.S. and a rising multipolar world.

By forging ties with global partners like India , he not only strengthens Russia ’s position but also sends a message to Beijing .

Despite Western efforts to isolate Russia , these meetings denote a persistent global connectivity.
