  1. **Submission Statement**

    In his third term, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to maintain strong ties with Russia despite international pressure and a new coalition government. Historically supported by various Indian governments, this strategic partnership benefits India economically, particularly through discounted oil purchases. However, the growing Russia-China partnership amidst the ongoing Ukraine war poses a strategic challenge for India, which views China as a primary adversary. Modi’s government will likely focus on domestic issues while continuing to balance its foreign policy to strengthen India’s voice for the Global South and pursue a multipolar world order.

  2. Given India’s growing manufacturing sector and demand for minerals. I’d say yes they’ll be closer to Russia.
