The liberal-globalists failed in their campaign to pressure India into dumping Russia so now they’re desperately looking for excuses to help them cope with this.
"...aim to preemptively avert Russia’s potentially disproportionate dependence on China by giving it a reliable complementary partner."
I understand and am no less grateful for this than anyone else — very grateful, indeed!
"...it can therefore be said that India literally changed the course of history by making multipolarity inevitable."
OK, I can work with that.
(But save a pair of those rose-tinted glasses you used to write the next paragraph for me, if you could, please. My eyes hurt. I'm betting a pair of specs like that could make them feel so much better!)
"...the Modi Administration treasures India’s hard-earned sovereignty and the strategic autonomy..."
And herein lies the rub: it's the MODI administration, or any other administration accepting that their political structure must be based on the English/American-centric (convenient) perception of democracy. Any such government administration will inevitably become that of its adversaries' within a tolerable (to its adversaries) period of time, often due to a large extent to foreign influence. Those that don't (change their regimes by popular vote) will be subject to colour revolution. I believe Modi is a competent and sincere politician, but few can expect to enjoy popularity to the extent that, e.g. V. V. Putin has. Whatever it does in its current political form, India will always be liable to dramatically change course as soon as someone who makes hay out of the grass his predecessor has grown comes to power. It's the weak link in old-style democracy. Perhaps India will someday come to perceive it as a vestige of the Raj and start doing something to change it, but, as far as I'm aware, there's no sign of that on the horizon at the moment.
"...however many decades it’ll take..."
Doesn't usually take decades. How long is the election cycle in India?
"...but no honest observer should be misled by their false coping narrative about this."
OK, but the specs... Just have a little peak at India (Modi) in America (in bed with Blinkin&Co.) without them on for a second or two. Ouch!
"...only 38 heeded its [the US'] call."
