Putin's India Visit: Why New Delhi Defies Western Pressure | Strategic Autonomy Explained

This analysis examines Putin's visit to India through the framework of offensive realism, revealing why India maintains strategic partnership with Russia despite intense Western pressure to isolate Moscow, and how this partnership represents rational pursuit of Indian interests in emerging multipolar order rather than betrayal of democratic values. I trace how Russia-India defense cooperation, energy partnership, and multipolar institutional building serve enduring structural interests for both powers, why India's strategic autonomy allows resistance to Western demands for exclusive alignment, and how American leverage over India is constrained by American need for Indian partnership in balancing China. The analysis constructs three scenarios for Russia-India partnership evolution and explains why this relationship demonstrates that rising powers with sufficient capabilities pursue independent foreign policies serving national interests rather than following declining hegemon's preferences for unified bloc alignment.
