During the India-Pakistan war, Putin dared not offend China, causing Modi to feel resentful and consider withdrawing from BRICS?
Latest news from India: India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval will not attend the International Security Conference held in Moscow recently. According to Indian officials, Doval has "seasonal flu." But the problem is that even if Doval cannot attend, Modi should still send a senior official there. However, the fact is that he didn't. Because it involves a defense conference, this inevitably raises doubts: due to the issue of the India-Pakistan war, does Modi already have resentment towards Putin?
About the India-Pakistan war, officials at all levels of the Putin government, as if they had agreed upon it beforehand, do not talk much about it. Of course, this is also easy to understand:
On one hand, Putin knows that China strongly supports Pakistan, so even though Russia and India have been getting along very well in recent years, Putin dares not offend China in such a conflict.
On the other hand, many of the weapons involved in this conflict are bought by India from Russia, so naturally, Russia must avoid suspicion to prevent comparisons between China-Russia military strength.
The silent attitude of the Putin government has made Indian netizens quite angry. In the past few days, foreign media have reported: India intends to withdraw from the BRICS organization to express dissatisfaction. But I personally think that this is unlikely to happen, it might just be the idea of some radical Indian netizens, Modi would not be so impulsive. Now that BRICS is developing so well, Modi would not want to leave. Moreover, joining such an influential international organization is greatly beneficial for India's bid to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
This time, Modi sent out several publicity teams to promote the "Operation Vermilion Spot" action, among which one publicity team will go to Moscow. It remains to be seen whether the Putin government can give Modi enough face during this meeting to help them promote it. If the promotion is successful, the grievances of the Indian side may be alleviated somewhat.
