Ind-Rus Relation
by Prashanth Bharadwaj on Nov 25, 2011 08:33 PM

Over the years our politicions have played a more of a devastating role in politics and corruption. Yet one thing everybody have maintained is the Indo-Russo Friendship.It is not possible for every indian to forget the soviet support for us in 1971 Indo-Pak war over Bangladesh. Soviet used its VETO in the UN when the US and NATO tried to pass an Armed action against India in support Pakistan... Other wise an Iraq like or Afgan like war would have destroyed our whole country. And the mere presence of the Soviet's Naval Vessels (in spite being less in nos) Stopped the British and US Naval advancement and once their support for India was made public China did not attack India from north (as asked by the US for its assistance) since she feared Soviet's will attack China if she attacts India. Today India is a world power just because one country stood by us throught in our troubled days (Soviet union and then Russia). It is always better and its our basic duty to give Russia a special friend status and nothing wrong in supporting Russia all the time because they are one time tested trustable Friend (Rather Brothers). We must never ever forget our past and fall towards attractive countries. We can be diplomatic with other countries as well but always keep Russia the most prefered nation above any other country. Truly i look Russia as a elder brother who stood by us till we are matured and capable of taking the right decisions.
