That's a bit uncharitable view considering Russia was getting $1B+ from EU block for gas via Nord Stream 1 every single week until very recently. Indian imports pale in that comparison, being a tiny fraction of that amount. If you're gonna point fingers at least lets do it with the facts being straight. Truthfully, diplomatic relationship isn't a black & white, zero-sum kind of game. The fact that US policies change so erratically gives a lot of countries low confidence from going all-in. The stake is population of 1.4B & a mostly modest per capita income. When you got mouths to feed, war in a distant land makes less sense. Edit: typo
