Much more reliable seller of weapons than Russia is, the US won't backstab India like Russia could (and would if war between India and China broke out)

Well..... the Indians would have to forget the past then, because during the '63 war with China, BOTH the USSR and the USA came to India's aid while in the '71 war, Nixon asked the chinese to attack India, and sent a US aircraft carrier fleet into the bay of bengal while the USSR came out strongly on India's side....

Mistakes can be forgiven. India knows that we are a much stabler source of weapons. The problem is that there are some Indians who want really close relations with Russia and peace treaties and alliances with the Chinese govt.
