India doesn't own russia, but has been a trusted ally for years.
In this context, the entire subcontinent was subjected to barbaric invaders including pakistan, Understandable that we were colonized in yesteryear, but how do you explain pakistan's still towing the line of washington after 65 yrs of independence. There is no arrogance, some indian members here get emotional and blurt out things, but the amount of support India gets from russia rival twice the amount pakistan get from Us-china combined.
You can research yourself about Indo-russian relations, you will see there is a lot to it than few defence deals, we have ties in nearly every sector, like Energy, space exploration, science and tech, maritime research, bio-technology, culture, literature, agriculture, transportation and Infrastructural development.
We have no problems in russia developing coordial relations with pakistan, pakistan is a major country in the region, and it must have good relations with russia. In similar context even though pakistan is the major strategic ally of china, we stil have good trade relations with china, as a matter of fact, we are one of the biggest trading partners of china, so I dont see why pakistan and russia cant have good mutual relations.
The problem arises when, pakistani members (and writers alike with such op ed's) make predictions like, russia will abandon India in favor of pakistan, which defeats common sense, hence draws flak from indian members here.
Your ignorance scares me.
