    India really gives off the vibe of a country that doesn’t know what the fuck it’s doing. In the same year its officials will claim “leadership of the global South” and then alienate the entire global south by backing Israel against Palestine.

    How did a nation of colonized people who threw off the shackles of their oppressors end up becoming such huge simps for imperialism

      Because that “throwing off the shackles” was moreso in actuality a mediated transition into neocolonial status with a western-friendly comprador class in charge. You see this in many “former colonies” that just so happen to be completely dominated by the “former colonizers”. In Africa, up until very recently, France still controlled massive sections of the continent indirectly via economic and diplomatic coercion and france-friendly puppet dictators.

      Not every “independence” is created equal. Some nations truly gain independence and forge their own path, such as Cuba and China, but even they still have to deal with a lot of contradictions dealing with economic ties to their former colonizers.

          …more imperialist than Imperial China? Hell, even the ROC held more territory than the PRC. Taiwan literally claims more land than the mainland currently occupies, such as the entirety of Mongolia.

          Any person who thinks China is imperialist either A) Doesn’t know what imperialism is, B) Believes silly lies about China that are easily and readily proven false, or C) Are themselves the ones spreading those lies for ideological reasons.

      I’m told by an Indian comrade that much of the media class and the bourgeoisie are still educated in England and the US, giving the UK and US a great deal of influence over the comprador ruling class.

        Not just the upper class, most of their college educated population speaks English fluently. Although that is a minority of their total population, it is still over 80 million people.

    IMO Indian stands with Israel and Russia is because when they were at war with Pak & China, they were the ones that have them weapons.

    India sent relief to Ukraine while buying cheap Oil from Russia. It will mimic similar strategy with this war too.

    That way, they can’t be blamed by any side at the end of war.

      I disagree. India has always fought against Pakistan while having friendly relations with Palestine. Even before 2014, India despite having relations with Israel did show support for Palestine. India has historically showed support for Palestine especially till 1991 (rip ussr-cry). Even after 1991 and rapprochement with Israel, it wasn’t like this.

      India can buy weapons from Israel if it wants while both sidesing the conflict. This is much worse, Indian state is becoming ideologically aligned with Israel. It is naiive for a developing country like India to be this aligned with Israel..

      India and Russia have been much more aligned in terms of UN Voting patterns compared to India and Israel. Its not comparable.
