The pro-Russian tilt arose after India was denied American warplanes at the time (and America’s pro-Pakistan tilt was already present), but I’ve never heard of any proposed Indian attack on Diego Garcia. Any links on the subject?
Exactly friend ,US tillted towards pakis for short term gain but lost in long run even till date they are paying for that.
And Indo-Russia recently celebrated 60years of friendship with Nuke submarine leased for 10years to India..

Not an essay as such - just commentary by various Indian servicemen on military forums. I don't remember the specific forum, but the keywords to search on would be India, Indira Gandhi, Diego Garcia and invasion or attack.
My sense about Indians is that they are intensely anti-American, even though they may mask that lifelong indoctrination in order to get along. Until the past decade or so, Pakistanis used to be pretty pro-American. That sentiment is probably at least part of what made American policymakers side with Pakistan for most of the post-WWII period. Why make nice with a country that hates your guts? And Pakistan's fervid anti-Americanism in recent years, far exceeding India's antagonism towards the US, is partly the reason for our tilt towards India.
