Not really very surprising. People talk about India being the world’s largest democracy and should be “on our side”, but Modi is not a leader that cares about “a global rules based order”. If he thinks he can exploit Russia being desperate, that’s exactly what he’ll do.
India and Russia also go way back, Russia was their main military supplier for decades. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but if I recall it was due to the US supporting Pakistan back in the day.
Even First Post, which leans liberal, tends to report from a more Russian perspective on the Russo-Ukrainian War.
Just like Europe doesn’t have much choice in natural gas supply from Russia, India too doesn’t. The US has always propped up Pakistan, their misadventure in Afghanistan ended with pushing them into China’s arms which already has Pakistan, Myanmar etc. in its pocket, and Ukraine supplies Pakistan with modern weaponry.
