the thing in geopolitics is tat the same players are friends and enemies in different contexts. While the arguments on the India Russia China axis consolidated around Iranaina gas supplies seems sound, India must be wary of trusting a reassertive Russia, along with China. Mark the establishment of the SAIC, which underscores cracks within the Russai China axis itself, secondly one must not forget that any such pipeline from Iran must pass through troublesome Pakista. The idea must therefore be to spread our resources. We take on American companies too fro the pipeline from Turkmenistan and also pursue the Iranian deal. After all what can India or even Russia do if the US starts dropping bombs on Iran? Secondly we do not want to be caught up in the Russian plan to dominate energy supplies. We must hedge our bets...
