India's history is distinctive due to its culture and politics as well. It has endured great hardship to get to this point. Russia has consistently supported India. During the Cold War, in the middle of the 1950s, India began to forge close ties with the Soviet Union thanks to the bond between these two lovely brothers. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's travel to the Soviet Union in June 1955 and Communist Party First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev's visit back to India in 1955 marked the continuation of the friendship. During that discussion, Russia expressed support for India by stating, "Think that Moscow is the border of India, it is not far." We will arrive at your convenience. Russia has never given up since then.
Russia backed India in the UN during the 1961 liberation of Goa. Russia assisted in the liberation of Goa, which India later regained from Portuguese domination.
Additionally, it had resisted China's 1962 invasion of India and had offered India assistance by selling highly developed MiG fighter planes. when other countries, such as the UK and America, do not offer military aid or weapons. Russia even provided India with military assistance in opposition to other countries.
With the outbreak of the Indo-Pakistani War in 1965, Russia emerged as a mediator of peace. Once more, India and Pakistan were at war. In December 1971, the Soviet Union supported India at the UN by using its veto authority, while the United States sent a task force into the Bay of Bengal to support Pakistan. Ever since, a unique bond has been shared by the two countries. The Indo-Russian collaboration is based on five primary components: politics, defense, civil nuclear energy, anti-terrorism cooperation, and advancement and exploration of outer space travel.
India has nearly eight times invoked Russia's veto authority. Additionally, Russia is in favor of India being granted a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. By enlisting India in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and the National Security Guard, Russia has spoken up for India.
China, Brazil, Russia, and India formed the "Bric" alliance in 2006. South Africa later joined in 2010, becoming the BRICS group. Subsequently, Russia and India extended their support to the G20, which was established in 1999 to discuss and support global economic and financial challenges. India has always backed Russia in conflicts like the one in Ukraine.
This is the wonderful beginning, continuation, and future of a brotherly relationship.
