India-Russia Relations: A Time-Tested Alliance

Historical Background

India and Russia have shared a strong and strategic relationship that dates back to the Cold War era. The then-Soviet Union and India formed a diplomatic unity that was further strengthened by shared military ideals and economic policies. Even after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia continued to maintain close ties with India.

Strategic Partnership

In October 2000, the “Declaration on the India-Russia Strategic Partnership” was signed, enhancing cooperation in almost all areas of the bilateral relationship. These areas include politics, security, defense, trade and economy, science and technology, culture, and people-to-people ties. Both nations consider their mutual affinity to be a “special and privileged strategic partnership”.

Shared Interests

India and Russia together have aligned interests in creating a multipolar world order, each being one pole instead of a bipolar world with the decline of the American-led unipolar world order. Both countries are members of several international bodies and have shown support for each other on various international platforms.

Defense Cooperation

India is the second-largest market for the Russian defense industry. Approximately 68% of India’s defense hardware imports come from Russia, making Russia the chief supplier of defense equipment to India.

Public Perception

According to opinion polls, Russians view India positively and Indians frequently name Russia as their most trusted partner. This mutual trust and respect form the bedrock of the India-Russia relationship.

Conclusion

The India-Russia relationship is a time-tested alliance that has withstood the test of time. Despite the changing global dynamics, the bond between the two nations remains strong and continues to grow.
