India and russia are far far closer than india and usa/west. When the partition happened with india and pakistan. India was approached and aligned with soviets and pakistan by usa (as a response) thats how pakistan became a major us ally in fighting soviets in afghanistan then afterwards pakistan started getting close to china. After which us and india’s relationship became strong.

Now the situation is changing again. Pakistan is getting more pro us/west while india is getting more closer to russia.

Its a bit funny how much you can tell about geo politics just by reading the narrative in US media.
