Simple, India sees the American oil industry being killed thst can correctly assume long term large oil shipments won’t be coming from the USA. India is not known to be too friendly to Muslims so the middle east is not their preferred source. Russia has plenty of oil, and weapons technology that India would love to get its hands on. Think SS18 level ICBMs , Delta III subs and miniaturized warheads in the multiple megaton range. The American empire is over they know it, China knows it they bought the persons tearing down the empire for them. India knows Russia is it’s best chance to have hydrocarbons and weapons tech to hold the chicoms at bay.

India has always traded with Russia. They are neutral as to this conflict as they are to most. Non alignment has been their traditional stance. Also, India needs energy - lots of it given their huge population and growing economy. Why would anybody expect India to cut off one of their major trading partners?

At least two of those countries are major destinations for outsourcing, so they will be buying Russian oil with our money.

Nice going, free traitors.

India has ALWAYS been fair-weather. It changes alliances far more often than its turbans. Wholly untrustworthy. And that is not new. Mark Twain had some very enlightening observations about India and Indians, and that was about 130 years ago.

“India has always been thus.”

Yup.

“Its something to do with their Brit resentment...”

It started long before John Company.
