There is not a single Indian official statement that gives 1971 as a rationale for India’s present position on Russia. Also, and this may sound surprising, but Indian national interests are not defined in Washington, Brussels, or Lisbon.

But no instead of looking at its national interest India looks at … 1971. It supports Russia against Ukraine because in 1971 the Soviet Union supported India. That was a long time ago and (wait for this)…
