"India sided with russia during the cold war. Thats not something to be proud of."
India had nothing to do with the cold war. In fact India was very much a US ally during the Kennedy administration. It was during the Nixon administration when US started supporting Pakistan and during the 1971 Bangladesh liberation war that India had to align with the Soviets primarily to checkmate the Chinese. We now know that Nixon was conspiring with the Chinese against India! He pushed India into the Soviet hands.
