Astute observers will note that India’s top diplomat only directed his critique against some of the Quad countries, not Russia, and in the context of defending Delhi’s comprehensive expansion of its strategic relations with Moscow at that. This wasn’t incidental either since the reality is that Russia actually endorses India’s official map unlike some of that country’s Quad partners as evidenced by publicly financed Sputnik sharing this depiction in its cartographical representation of the SCO’s members.
As usual lots of repetition in your article, but it elucidates a key point - India has a key 'unbreakable' partnership with Russia, which supports it in the contested Aksai Chin part of Kashmir that India claims but China holds, and on the 'Sout Tibet's area of Arunachal Pradesh that India has held since 1947 but China claims. No quid pro quo bargaining between India and China has resolved these matters , so India certainly appreciates that Russia supports it's 'map'/claims to both those areas. The key though is that all these three parties (Russia India, China) recognize the need to 'stick together' against the declining Western hegemony.
