Developing Friendship between Russia and China: Matter of Concern for India?  (Hardcover, Dr.S.N.Sagar)

The developing friendship between Russia and China is a matter of concern for India due to its potential geopolitical implications and strategic ramifications in the region. Historically, India has maintained friendly relations with both Russia and China, balancing its foreign policy to safeguard its interests and promote stability in Asia. However, the strengthening partnership between Moscow and Beijing raises apprehensions in New Delhi regarding its impact on regional dynamics. The deepening strategic alignment between Russia and China has manifested in various areas, including defense cooperation, economic partnerships, and diplomatic coordination. Joint military exercises, arms sales, and technology transfers between the two countries underscore their growing military collaboration, posing challenges for India's security calculus. From India's perspective, the Russia-China axis presents both challenges and opportunities. While India values its longstanding defense ties with Russia and seeks to diversify its economic partnerships beyond traditional allies, it also recognizes the need to engage constructively with China to address common challenges such as regional stability, economic development, and climate change. Thus, India must navigate the evolving dynamics between Russia and China cautiously, leveraging its strategic partnerships and diplomatic initiatives to safeguard its interests and promote peace and cooperation in the region. The book "Developing Friendship between Russia and China: A Concern for India" examines the evolving geopolitical dynamics in Asia and their implications for Indian foreign policy.
