    Yes I totally understand what you mean, I am not calling to cut ties with Russia, it is just that due to material conditions of India Russia is an important partner for India, hence India will have to keep Russian foreign interests in mind while doing its own diplomacy.

    I was just thinking how this would play out in a hypothetical socialist revolution in India, India due to its material conditions would be bound to Russia even after a socialist revolution, being dependent on Russia even after revolution might cause reactionary sentiments within the party, Russia could lobby the socialist state to become an actual Russian puppet hence destroying the revolution.

    Chinese on the other hand were not that dependent on USSR, and at that time USSR was still socialist (At least in name after all those liberal leaders). I don’t think India would be able to stop itself from becoming just another ‘fake socialist’ puppet of Russia if this is to happen. If Indian socialists still somehow go against Russia claiming self-dependence then unfortunately Russia would chime in with NATO to suppress the revolution.

    At least that’s what I think, I might be wrong and it might be successful, Indian material conditions make it seem difficult, I hope socialist leaders have thought about what they would be doing with Russia if they ever are to get into power.
