India has shown its power to western countries

While on the one hand most of the countries imposed many sanctions on Russia between Ukraine and Russia and imposed restrictions on buying anything from it, on the other hand, India is continuously importing crude oil from Russia and this is the fact of western countries. And its politicians are not getting teary eyed. For this reason, India has also come under criticism many times due to the purchase of oil from Moscow.

They may not always appreciate it but as long as you have laid down your interests in a straight way, the world accepts it as a kind of reality.”
