The strategic relationship between India and Russia is very important for not only these two countries, but also to the world which is now under the hegonomy of USA. As I previously mentioned in other post that USA would never give something without gaining more, and this friendly at per realtionship with Russia matters most to India. I have less very less idea about the undisclosed Indian relationship with Russia, but all the current and past experience in time of crisis proved Russia to be a friendly and most dependable(may be) partner of India (as described in the above article). And about my own opinion forgetting the reality, personally I like President Putin as a head of Russia. I hope this relationship will bring a lot more things in favour of the both countries and the the rest of the world.
