RE: Does India have any allies in the event of war?
India used to have an alliance with Russia. Not sure if it is still applicable. Recently these two countries, China and Pakistan, India’s main opponents, have become closer to Russia. Therefore the coming years would be of strategic importance for India.
India is neutral to almost all the nations except some of neighbours. The allies which can be trusted in any situation are:
1.Israel : Recent surveys and polls in the Jewish state have shown that India is most favoured nation in Israel and most of Israelis support India over other nations.
2. Japan :India and Japan have much in common.Both are ancient civilizations with determination to move to the top. Japan has always supported India since its independence. Japan is a strong global economic power.
3. Nepal : Despite financial assistance from China, Nepal share a culture that is traditionally closer to Indian different cultures rather than the Chinese one.
Bhutan, Phillipines, Vietnam and South Korea would also be interested to support India in order to curb Chinese growing threat in the South China Sea.
And last but not least ( assuming President Trump remains President ), It will also include the US of A. Trump is seen as a friend of India and could use her help in curbing the growing power of China.
Hey thanks man that covered a lot of countries.
I had no idea that India and Russia ever had an alliance. Interesting.
The countries who have the greatest to fear from China in the area...it makes sense they would be very concerned.
And yeah I don’t see Trump sitting on the sideslines.
Thanks again for the info.
Have a good one.
