India’s tradition of military non-alignment has come under huge
strain with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The world’s second most
populous country has tried to maintain a neutral stance, but has
come under sharp criticism from the West as casualties from the
conflict mount. What explains India’s stance, and what does
it hope to achieve? Harsh Pant, International relations professor
at Kings College London’s India Institute, joins Arthur Snell to
discuss. We're putting out irregular war bulletins covering
different aspects of the Ukraine crisis. Help our work, and shape
the next full series of Doomsday Watch, by supporting us on
Patreon. Resources to help the Ukrainian people can be found here:
https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/ “This crisis has exposed India’s
vulnerabilities, they’re very reliant on Russia for their defence
capabilities.” “As this conflict has dragged on, the Indian
Government has become increasingly uncomfortable with its
position.” “Ironically India is the only country that needs both
Russia and the West on its side.” “The Covid period showed that
over reliance on China is not healthy.” “Russia and China getting
together is perhaps one of the worst nightmares for India.” “India
is drifting away from Russia and towards the West, that is a
long-term trend.” DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by
Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold.
