Tashkent: Today, the whole world is watching the Shanghai Corporation Organization (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi are participating in the summit.
India’s increased trade with Russia following the invasion of Ukraine has been viewed with great concern by the United States. But America is also afraid to impose sanctions once morest India. But in the meantime, India saw with great concern that the United States had decided to provide arms to Pakistan. Pakistan is always the enemy of India.
The link between Pakistan Army and terrorists is known to the whole world. India has reacted strongly once morest the US decision to provide F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan. Moreover, Pakistan’s closest friend, China, is also concerned regarding Pakistan’s alliance with the United States. US is giving Pakistan 450 million in aid.
The suspension of all aid to Pakistan during the administration of Donald Trump is seen to be reversed when Biden came to power. Although India is not in close contact with China, there is no terrible enmity between the two countries. That is why not a single bullet was used on the India-China border for many years. Although there was a conflict between Indian and Chinese soldiers, the diplomatic relations between India and China were helpful in preventing it from turning into a war.
Russia also has a big role in this. In June 2020, 20 Indian soldiers and 40 Chinese soldiers lost their lives in an encounter between Indian and Chinese forces in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley. If this conflict had been with Pakistan, it would have resulted in a major war. If Pakistan is India’s biggest enemy, it is America for China. Hence the friendship between India and China can be strengthened anytime.
For this, Russia is exerting maximum pressure on both countries. In the meantime, the president of Iran is also coming unexpectedly to participate in the summit. This is adding to America’s concerns. If the India-Russia-China-Iran axis is formed, then the western powers will become irrelevant, which makes them very afraid.
If America had gone to war with a country instead of Russia, they would have ended the war by wiping out that country. But Russia has never once used its lethal strike capability once morest Ukraine. This has increased the respect of Russia among the SCO member states. The United States is providing F-16 weapons to Pakistan amid the fear that terrorists will seize the nuclear weapons in Pakistan’s hands.
Therefore, diplomatic experts believe that any step taken by India to ensure its security will have the support of the entire world. If that is the case, the possibility of Russia taking the initiative and forming an alliance with India, China and Iran cannot be ruled out. Fearing to lose its status as world policeman, the US is closely watching India’s every move.
