India and the global balance of power FMTNews FMTEng
When Indian prime minister Narendra Modi met with US president Joe Biden in the White House this month, many observers saw the makings of an evolving alliance against China.
After the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, the US and India began 20 years of annual “Track Two” talks between former diplomats who were still in close contact with those in government. In the 2000s, as China’s growth far outpaced theirs, the Indians in the Track Two talks worried not just about China’s support for Pakistan, but also about its increasing global power.
Indeed, India has still refused to condemn Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, just as it failed to condemn the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. For all of India’s self-congratulation as the world’s largest democracy, it has not come to the defense of democratic Ukraine. Its top priorities are to maintain its access to arms and oil, and to avoid pushing Russia further into China’s arms.
