  > India also has similar dilemma This one’s closer to Stockholm syndrome. Russia sells weapons to Pakistan; it’s devolving into a Chinese vassal. India notices this, hence its purchases of e.g. French fighters, but it’s less a dilemma than a bad position.

  If I remember well, they also have a long tradition of not aligning on either side (Russia or America). Isn't that doctrine the root of the "third world" idea, even if somewhat sadly it devolved to a sadder meaning of underdeveloped country?
