Soviet Union and India
Duncan, Peter J. S.
Soviet Union and India - London Routledge 1989 - 150 p.
India is the only non-communist country in the Third World with which the Soviet Union has managed to maintain friendly relations over a pro longed period. Has this friendship persisted because of Soviet influence on India, Indian influence on the Soviet Union, or a coincidence of geo strategic interests? This paper examines the costs and benefits to the Soviet Union of its substantial economic and military involvement with India, and assesses how India fits into Soviet policies towards southwest Asia and China. The author analyses the effects on Soviet-Indian rela tions of the invasion of Afghanistan and of the military build-up in Pakis tan; how changing domestic and global priorities in Moscow and New Delhi will affect the relationship; and what the role of the West should be.
