Summary/Abstract |
In 2022, India captured global attention over its response to the war in Ukraine. While calling for both parties’ return to diplomacy, India abstained from several United Nations resolutions condemning Russian aggression. For a country that ostensibly subscribes to the values of democracy and territorial integrity, its response appeared frustrating and contradictory, but it is broadly consistent with its long-standing policy of non-alignment. Although India’s relationship with China is increasingly contentious, New Delhi is not yet fully convinced that it is in India’s interest to swing westwards. The country’s relations with Russia and China are deep, complex and substantive. In addition to the military and economic benefits it derives from its connection with Russia, New Delhi and Moscow share an avowed preference for a more equal, multipolar world. India will eventually have to reflect on the extent to which it can sustain its balancing act.

Summary/Abstract |
On the night of 15 June 2020, Sino-Indian tensions flared into fighting
along the disputed border in the region known as the Galwan Valley. The
fighting led to the first casualties along the border in 45 years. However,
no one on either side fired a single shot.1
Instead, soldiers threw rocks and used
wooden clubs wrapped in barbed wire to attack one another. Two of the most
powerful armies in the world, both of which possess nuclear weapons, clashed
with one another using sticks and stones
