^Ravish knows little of India and more about everyone else('s line). He's actually anti-Hindu and anti-Indian, and he thinks psecularism is progressive and that one-way compromise is nationalism and he would advocate cowardice as diplomacy. He's wasted on nationalist sites and belongs on countercurrents (commie conclave).

Better than sacrificing India's interests or making them subordinate to other people's 'greater cause'.

Hope it's true that India will be backing off from being a groupie in any joint Russia-China-TSP conglomeration.
Of course China will put in a favour for TSP to be included in the friend-list, and of course this is the Chinese hint to India to bow out.
And of course India will have to bow out. Russia is free to decide and so is India. Except Russia's new 'friends' are far from reliable. TSP=the Taliban that kicked them out of Afghanistan and is a big supporter of Chechnyan and other violence. And China will get far more out of the deal - out of Russia - than the Russians will. But that's their lookout.
Russia ought to have been able to hold its own against all of the west even in the modern era. Interesting that they themselves don't think they can. Which probably means they can't, and that I've over-estimated Russia. Admittedly they were far more clever and had greater insight in the past - true for many countries - but I didn't know they were quite so desperate as to enter into a deal with China that will reduce them and not take away from any advantages China has. Not to mention getting stuck with jihad-central TSP, which is US' lapdog (AmeriKKKa won't let Russia pry away its strategic asset in "South Asia" and TSP at most will become a double agent).
India far better off without, than stuck in that company. Even alone is better than being stuck with interests inimical to the nation. They just weight down.
Fortunately, India has been re-forming closer ties with natural allies (and historical friends/relatives) in SE Asia like significantly-heathen Vietnam. Aren't the Vietnamese famous for vanquishing China historically? Japan was the last great (in terms of on the world stage) Asian worldpower, before the current [projected] rise of China. Never underestimate "small" Asian countries.
[Sounds a bit like Vizzini saying: "Never get into a landwar in Asia." Which is also true.]

Quote:Russia Loses its Strategic Sheen with India:
Paper No. 5948 Dated 8-June-2015
By Dr Subhash Kapila
Russia in 2015 has lost its strategic sheen and strategic utility to India after more than four decades of being the sheet-anchor of Indiaâââ‰â¢s security. The onus of this Indian perception gaining ground lies on Russia squarely for switching to China as sheet-anchor of Russiaâââ‰â¢s foreign policy.
[...]
Surely, even today Russia is capable of standing up to the United States and the West and does not require âââ¬ÃÅMade in Chinaâââ‰â¢ crutches.
(Apparently Russia doesn't think so. Or China has convinced them that it is not so.)
[...]
More disturbing has been the Russian petulance in attempting to signal to India that it is now moving closer to Pakistan by striking a defence and arms supply relationship. This again spells out clearly that it does not seem to be an independent Russian initiative, but Russia acting under Chinese pressure to further Chinese strategic interests in South Asia through its Pakistan-proxy.
What is then India expected to make and discern from an erstwhile staunch and tested strategic partner like Russia indulging in strategic dalliance with ââ∠âIndiaâââ‰â¢s major military threat countriesâââ¬ÃÂ, namely China and Pakistan?
