1. So why is Putin doing this ?

When the conflict started, the entire West imposed sanctions on Russia. These sanctions are more extensive than those on Iran, North Korea, and Iraq combined. The West even sanctioned countries doing business with Russia, aiming to isolate Russia geopolitically. Despite this, Russia's GDP data is higher than that of the US and almost all European countries. With Modi, Russia is trying to showcase to the West that they are not alone.

2. Why did Modi receive a grander welcome than Xi?

Russia's biggest trading partner is China, and the West claims that Russia has become China's puppet, suggesting that without China, Russia's economy would collapse. Recently leaked Chinese military documents show that China still claims the disputed area between Russia and China belongs to China. Russia wants to send a message to China that they are not fully dependent on them and that China shouldn't push the limits, even in their dreams

NRI Hypocrisy?

I have seen most of my friends and people are in tech always oppose the current Government. 

I agree, that current government is not great. But at same time, supporting parties like Congress doesn’t makes sense.

Genuinely curious why people think current government is not doing good? I have seen road & rail infrastructure getting improved, defence budget being increased, government making investments in R&D, privatisation of government sectors, making existing processes efficient, and much more.

Even the farm bills were good, now what is happening all the middlemen are making money.

Communal riots have increased, but I don’t think the government is responsible, it’s people who ignite these riots.

At last, why you think current government is not doing good?

Why people in tech hate BJP?

- Russia has been secretly acquiring sensitive goods in India to support its war effort, according to leaked documents.

- The plan involved using rupees from booming oil sales to India to buy dual-use technologies.
- Russia aimed to establish electronics production facilities in India to secure components.
- The covert trade has deepened Russia-India ties, causing friction with the US.
