I still dont understand why we never invited a Russian President to be a Republic Day guest untill now...instead of inviting the likes of Saudi King who is the main Patron of Islamic terrorism around the world (inculding India) and who consistently oppose India in the International arena inorder to please his fellow muslim country Pakistan, we should have invited our all weather friends like Russian Pres or Israels' P.M long time back.. !!Jai Hind!!
