Is "Ekla Chalo Re" the best option in Geopolitics?

 

Editor: “Akla Chalo re” is a song/poem written by Rabindranath Thakur, Famous Nobelist Litaleture and poet. Now This time India should Do it in Geopolitics. Because if we look at  the recent incident of the relationship between India-Russia-China-America we realize That Akla Chalo re is better than Alliance with others.

 

The recent visit of Russian foreign minister “Sergei Lavrov “to Delhi and Islamabad is among multiple signs of India’s changing relations with the great powers.  At the same time, Delhi’s growing strategic partnerships with the US and Europe have begun to end India’s prolonged alienation from the West.

Change is the only permanent feature of Geopolitics and Delhi has no reason to be sentimental about the past.  The break-up between Russia and China also opened space for Delhi against Beijing after the 1962 war in the Himalayas. Even in 1969 China start war with Russia for the border dispute. The war is a breakthrough for both country relation.

But Its Geopolitics only depends on personal interest. Under intense American pressure on Russia in the 1980s, Moscow sought to normalize ties with Beijing.  After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Moscow’s first instinct was to become a part of the political West. But disappointed with the Western response, Russia turned to build a stronger partnership with China.

 

Stepping back to the 1960s and 1970s, China strongly objected to Delhi’s partnership with Moscow (much in the manner that Beijing complains about India’s relations with America today).  In a pithy but vulgar summary of Delhi? Moscow ties, Mao Zedong described them as the Russian bear mounting the Indian cow.

 

Delhi was happy to welcome Russia’s repeated veto in the United Nations Security Council against Anglo-American interventions on the Kashmir question.  But it was anxious about the dangers of a potential US-Russian global condominium. This is not very different from Delhi’s worries these days about America and China setting up a G-2 over Asia and the world.

 

The twists and turns in the triangular dynamic between America, Russia, and China noted above should remind us that Moscow and Beijing are not going to be “best friends forever”.  Nor will America’s ties with China and Russia remain permanently frozen.

 

The current troubles with China seem to be an unfortunate exception to the upswing in India’s bilateral ties with global actors. What about Russia? Despite the current differences over Afghanistan and the Indo[1]Pacific, Delhi and Moscow has no reason to throw away their mutually beneficial bilateral partnership. To be sure, their relations with third parties like China and America is evolving. But none of that change is impossible for Delhi to manage.
