Putin in India: Shashi Tharoor's message to Trump, reminds US of Russian weapons' role in Op Sindoor

Parliamentarian Shashi Tharoor explains why India’s long-standing partnership with Russia remains vital despite global turbulence and Western pressure. From discounted oil and S‑400 air defences proven in Operation Sindoor to India’s tradition of “sovereign autonomy,” he argues Moscow ties can deepen without sacrificing relations with the US, Europe or other major powers. A remark in the midst of Putin's trip to India and bilateral with PM Narendra Modi.
