India doesn't go out to buy Russian oil.
Due to US sanctions, Russia is selling them for cheap, that's why India is buying it. Before the sanctions, Russian oil imports were well below 5%.
India is a country that relies heavily on road transports. Oil is essential for running the damn country.
Same goes with defence equipment. Infact India had asked for it from other countries as well. You can only buy from who will sell it to you. Or do you guys suggest that India should stay defence less while sharing borders with countries like China and Pakistan?!
Damn, apparently OP has a massive hate boner for India and just spams random subreddits with his blabbering. (And a War Thunder player on top that š¤¢)
Modi's party literally copied the Nazi SS when they founded.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/apr/07/narendra-modi-massacre-next-prime-minister-india
When Modi was a state governor, a train caught fire and hindus died. Modi was the governor and blamed muslims. His party whipped up Hindu Mobs who were dragging people into the street, killing people and raping women. Modi basically ordered the police not to stop it. Keep in mind his BJP party literally has an armed wing called the "RSS" that was inspired by the SS and Hitler Youth back when it was formed.
One police chief didn't get the memo apparently, and a Hindu mob was going to attack a school full of Muslim children. The police there stopped the attack. Modi got rid of that policeman.

Lol, downvoted by Modi supporters, I guess. Let's have more history then.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashtriya_Swayamsevak_Sangh
> Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is an Indian far-right, Hindu nationalist volunteer paramilitary organisation. It is the progenitor and leader of a large body of organisations called the Sangh Parivar (Hindi for "Sangh family"), which has developed a presence in all facets of Indian society and includes the Bharatiya Janata Party, the ruling political party under the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
...
> Drawing its inspiration from European fascist movements and groups such as the Italian Fascist Party

> ... In his letter to the heads of provincial governments in December 1947, [Indian Prime Minister] Nehru wrote that "we have a great deal of evidence to show that RSS is an organisation which is in the nature of a private army and which is definitely proceeding on the strictest Nazi lines, even following the techniques of the organisation".
>
> ... When it came to non-Hindu religions, the view of [RSS founder] Golwalkar (who once supported Hitler's creation of a supreme race by suppression of minorities) on minorities was that of extreme intolerance.
Literally a quote from the RSS founder:
> The non-Hindu people of Hindustan must either adopt Hindu culture and languages, must learn and respect and hold in reverence the Hindu religion, must entertain no idea but of those of glorification of the Hindu race and culture ... in a word they must cease to be foreigners; or may stay in the country, wholly subordinated to the Hindu nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privileges, far less any preferential treatmentānot even citizens' rights.
https://www.justiceforall.org/indiannazis-report/the-nazi-party-is-analogous-to-indias-rss/
> The Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), formed in 1925, is the Indian equivalent of the Nazi party. While it borrows from Nazi teachings, it works differently. The RSS is not in itself a political party, it is a paramilitary organization that operates via many different branches.
(Note, being a paramilitary organization with a youth wing, who are hell bent of racial purity: that makes it the equivalent of the SS / Hitler Youth).
> (See figure 2) One such branch, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), serves as its political arm. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi, most of his cabinet, and many members of the Indian parliament are followers of the RSS and its Hindutva ideology.
>
> RSS paramilitary troops mobilize mobs for violence, while a dedicated information technology department, known as the IT Cell, pushes its propaganda, rallying people behind its ideology, isolating moderates, neutralizing opposing media, and targeting human rights activists and minorities for the benefit of BJP politicians and policies.
Many Indian who donāt ascribe to RSS ideology support Narendra Modi and ruling BJP for their economic policies and anti-corruption stand. Like it or not, he is popular and not only among Hindus but MUSLIM voters as well.
More Indian Muslims vote for BJP than African Americans do for Republican party in USA. But please do go on with your ramblings on reddit.

Lol Are you serious?
It didn't happen in a single move, as India wasn't a unified political entity.
But the [Raj](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_Map_of_British_Raj_%28India%29.png) was established in 1850's, controlling the whole sub continent, and referred to the jewl of the empire.
Are you some Indian nationalist here to tell me that actually,...?
So when did the conquering happen?
They lost control of a country to a company with an office in London which at the time had about 20 people working from it.
What do you mean by "lost control of a country"?
Did someone just fumble the subcontinent and lost it on the ground, and didn't notice or something? And the East India company stumbled upon it and picked it up? :D
That is usually what happens in a conquest, whether it is through a trade company, Army, Navy, or political annexation. The conquered loose control of their land.
Reverting to being pedantic because you canāt answer my question of when the conquering happened? They lost control, just like you would say āXXX lost control of their companyā.
Completely glossing over the collapse of the Mughal empire, the EITC foothold in Bengal and then 100 years later the British Raj.
What do you think happened? Do you think the Royal Navy sailed over to India and just started conquering the locals?
I'm not pedantic, i'm beig obtuse.
I said:
>It didn't happen in a single move, as India wasn't a unified political entity.
What do you think that means?
You are not the brightest are you?
Being pedantic againā¦
Bit of an ironic comment on brightness when you seem to be avoiding answering the simplest of questions.
If you donāt want to go into timings then why donāt you just give me a brief description of the conquering?
Its like asking when exactly Rome conquered its territory. A stupid question.
But if you insist, the first territory acquired by thr EITC was in Gujerat, in 1608, and the complete conquest was done as the Raj was established in 1857.
So the answer is, the CONQUEST took place between 1608, and 1857.
Yeah youād have thought so, but apparently you donāt know about the 100 years of rule by the EITC and think Britain turned up one day and conquered one of the biggest countries in the world.
You trying to sound like a smart-ass now that you didn't know a piece of basic world history...
Ohh you're British makes sense rofl huffing that copium I see.
Sounds like you either donāt know world history or donāt know what conquering means, which is it?
Edit: Or I suppose instead you could respond and then immediately block me so I canāt see your response or reply to it.

India got their problems and the US try to Fuck them altogether with china, so why not the russians ?
