I wouldn’t feel sorry for India. They sided with the Russians during the Cold War. Many other puzzling episodes but they should really save their scorn for the British.
As I see it-on 2nd thought-it appears that the arresting officer(s) may have wanted to just ‘sneak in a little feel’. She looks pretty hot.
I’ll admit to not being completely up to speed on India’s Cold War relations, but it never appeared to me they were hard line anti-Western. Truth be told, you touched on a major reason why they could have gone that route. Today they aren’t what I would call rabid anti-Britain or the West.
In Russia’s hemisphere and not as militarily prepared for war as Russia, India had to do somewhat of a tap-dance. I don’t believe they could have come out totally Western without some fear of harassment or retribution. It would seem to me they played it about right.
Yes India did have relations with Russia, but they never acted hard line anti-US.
As for India having scorn for the British, in truth I think there are some things they appreciate that the British handed off to them. Their government seems to function reasonably, and Britain brought that framework to them.
It is reasonable to think India would have some big problems with the occupation, but it hasn’t gone hard line on it. I think India has handled it’s foreign relations rather well.
Perhaps you would like to explain your views on it. I may learn something if you do.
In fact India sided with non-aligned (neutral) nations during the cold war. Mainly because the US favored muslim Pakistan, India’s arch rival in the region.
Yeah and Nixon sided with China and Pakistan. Read up on Pakistan’s attempted ethnic cleansing/jihad in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) and Operation Torch.
‘Siding’ as much as they did with the Russians made sense for them at the time.
After that, US-India relations were actually on the up, until 1971 when Nixon sent an aircraft carrier to threaten India because India was stopping Pakistan's genocide of Bengalis
At that time, the USSR came unilaterally to India's aid, which made them very close friends.
however that's done. the evil empire collapsed 23 years ago.
