The biggest reason that India did not condemn Russian invasion of Ukraine is because of its heavy dependence on Russian arms. Especially at this time when it is in a tense relationship with China, India cannot afford to alienate the Russians who provide and support a lot of its weapons.

Otherwise India has every reason to condemn the Russian invasion since it has similarities with China's encroachment on its borders.

India also has to deal with 200 Million or so Muslims citizens who sometimes cause a bit of trouble. If they throw their hand in with the US and things get ugly with the ‘Muslim Community’ there, they may very possibly have to deal with the same ‘Regime Change’ and SWIFT cut-off that Russia is now dealing with.

But get in with Russia, then nothing to worry about from the Hillary/Obama bunch in DC - no strings attached.
