Yes Russia is India's friend... but who knows what is behind the table.
No 'white-tribe' has ever respected Indians in the physical level. So Russians, you really think, supported Indian unconditionally. Their enemy was America. Since America was India's hater (kind of), Russia wanted to support India to infuriate America. Enemy's enemy is always your friend...

In international relations, there are no true friends. The only criterion is self-interest. Russia was an evil empire and wanted to convert India to its brand of evil socialism.
In any case, the Soviet Union was a failed economy that had to buy its food from the U. S., Australia and Canada. It had no resources to help India.
