Indians view US as biggest threat after China, blame on NATO and US than on Vladimir Putin for Ukraine war: survey shows​

January 17 2023

• Respondents said US bigger threat than arch-rival Pakistan
• 60% of those polled urged Modi to keep purchasing Russian oil

WASHINGTON – Indians view the United States as the biggest military threat after China and place greater blame on Nato and Washington than on Russian President Vladimir Putin for his war in Ukraine, according to a new survey.

Some 43 per cent of the 1,000 respondents perceived China – with whom India has a long-lingering border dispute and has seen tensions flare again since 2020 – as the greatest threat, according to the survey by Morning Consult, a US-based global business intelligence company.

And 22 per cent saw the US as the second-most significant security threat, ahead of India’s historic arch-rival Pakistan, the survey showed.

“While the world’s two largest democracies would seem to make for natural partners, especially given their mutual mistrust of China, Indians have strategic reasons to be wary of the world’s Western superpower,” according to Ms Sonnet Frisbie and Mr Scott Moskowitz, who oversaw the survey released on Tuesday.

“As tensions between Washington and Beijing increase, the Indian public may be worried about getting caught in the middle of a US-China conflict that destabilises regional security, putting India at risk.”

The concerns reflected in the survey about the risks from Washington persist despite the South Asian nation’s closer partnership with the US, Australia, and Japan – or the Quad, a grouping of democracies formed to counter Beijing’s economic and military ambitions.

India has remained neutral on the Russian war in Ukraine despite pressure from its Quad partners – refraining from United Nations censure votes, while urging a diplomatic solution to ease the food and fertilizer crunch triggered by the crisis. It has also continued to snap up cheap Russian oil.

The survey, conducted on Oct 14-15, found that 60 per cent of the respondents want the government to continue purchasing oil from Russia and 48 per cent of them said Russia should remain India’s preferred military equipment provider, compared to 44 per cent for the US.

Some 49 per cent also want Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government to continue military exercises with the country.

More Indians blame the US and Nato for the war in Ukraine because “historical ties with Russia formed during the Cold War and India’s post-independence period run deeper than India’s relatively new relationship with the US”, said Ms Shumita Deveshwar, senior director of India research at TS Lombard.

Russia as the main supplier of weapons and cheap oil to India is also “embedded in the mindset of the people, and that takes much longer to change”, she said. BLOOMBERG

True, we know it very well. US historically never stood by us.
The relationship between India and China showed a promising start as Modi took power. Xi came to Modi's birth place when he was to India.
But Chinas imperialistic policy stopped a great union between powers of Asia.

US was against India before but not anymore..
USA supported Pakistan as India was a friend of the Soviets and also Pakistan was supporting Afghan mujahideens against the Soviet army. But now the biggest rival of USA is China and naturally they want to see India as their ally against common enemy.

Yesh, blame everything on China just as the 1962 war and ignore your Indias aggressive invasions of Chinese lands to please your white masters.

Hogwash.
Offer them visa of US they will line up for it.
Indians.know it will be US not Russia that would help them against Chinese economic dominance.

Would Pakistanis not line up for US Visa's?

Of course this comes as No surprise to most Indians since most Indians DO NOT TRUST the US and nor should we.

US has been in an active state of war with India since 1960's at least.

We face constant attack from 4 US institutions on a regular and consistent basis.

1. US Media
2. US Academics
3. US Christian Church
4. CIA

Right now India is also at war with,

5. US State department
US created this Frankenstein's monster called China to keep Russia and India in check and now that it finds China is no longer its "faithful friend", it needs India to keep China in check. US uses Europe to keep Russia in check.

These are not acts of any "friend". These are acts of a potential Rival/Enemy.

The Article as usual gets a couple of important things wrong.

It claims "both Indian and US are 'natural allies". This is not true at all.

Its actually US and China who are "Natural allies". Both are Capitalist Oligarchies who prey on its own citizens and on the rest of the world.

China has modelled itself after the US in much the same way the Nazi's modelled itself after the White Supremacist in the US (Who were this inspiration).

Of course this is embarrassing to admit or say in public which is why we today call the Christian "hooked Cross" as the Hindu "Swastika". Same way they call China "communist" (though Xi Jinping is now making it true)

Both US and China are what we call "police state" where the average citizen fear and keep away from the "cops" or "officials"(china)

Another thing the article gets deliberately wrong is that India is "close" to Russia due to the weapons it has brought or "Oil" it has. That is not true either.

India is close to Russia because Russia is TRUSTWORTHY (Far more than the US). Also Russia RESPECTS India, unlike the US who only makes a pretense of it.


Finally to answer @itsanufy wish about building better relationship with China, that too is not possible for exactly the SAME reason as India US relations.

China does not RESPECT India and since that is the FOUNDATION of any good relationship, this will only remain a piped dream.

Though China is MORE TRUSTWORTHY than the US, it Respects us less than the US. So between the two devils, US becomes the natural choice.

But Indians are constantly aware the US is the Original "Evil Empire" and dealing with them is quite literally Dealing with the Devil.

China attacked India during the "Cuban Missile Crisis" when both the US and Russia was involved with each other.

It was good strategic timing and an effective counter to Nehru's foolish understanding of Global politics.

But China withdrew because it COULD NOT sustain its military presence in India due to impossible logistics in 1962. Its as simple as that.

They got to intimidate Nehru's India, destroys Nehru's carefully crafted "global image" and humiliate India on a global stage and since those objectives were met, the best thing they could do was withdraw. It was the most sensible thing to do.

British trained Nehru tried to play "big boys politics" like the British of those days with a street Thug called Mao. Mao bitch slapped him and showed Nehru his true "aukat".

Nehru was a delusional hypocritical lunatic, period.

Mao never expected that he would sheler Dalai Lama and the Tibetan "exile government" in 1959. It's the beginning of the end of two countries normal relationship.

The real problem was/is that many Indians including Nehru never accept that Tibet is Chinese territory, they thought Tibet should be part of their greater India or at least an independent country under Indian sphere of influence, a buffer zone between India and China as they delusiomally believe that was the case in British India time, thats the real contention between the two countries even today.
