Putin India Visit: At present the world seems to be clearly divided into two axes. On one side is Russian President Vladimir Putin and on the other side is American President Donald Trump. America’s tariff policy and the anti-Russian stance of Western countries have increased global tension.

At the same time, India and China are prominent among the countries that openly support Russia. This support Russia is getting from Asia is troubling the western countries. In this background, Putin’s visit to India has become even more important.

Strategic strength of India and Russia in the eyes of China

China’s official newspaper Global Times wrote that the two leaders will discuss important issues like defense cooperation, energy security, trade expansion, technology and partnership in new emerging capabilities. Besides, the geopolitical situation of Euro Asia and Indo Pacific region will also be considered. According to reports, India and Russia are going to sign 10 government agreements and more than 15 business deals. This visit is taking place at a time when the European Commission is coming forward with tough proposals on the use of Russian funds, hence Putin’s visit to India is being considered as a direct message to the Western countries.

‘India-Russia partnership will not come under external pressure’

Professor Li Haidong of China Foreign Affairs University told Global Times that India-Russia relations are extremely strategic and can withstand any external pressure. He says that this partnership shows that neither India nor Russia is going to bow down to Western pressure. According to Lee, this cooperation shows the world that Russia is still an influential power and Western sanctions have not been able to weaken it. Also, India is not going to come under the pressure of America to buy oil and decides its foreign policy only on the basis of national interests.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in India on a 2-day visit. During this time, on the night of 4 December 2025 at 7LKM, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had invited Putin for dinner. Before that both the leaders had reached 7LKM in a car from the airport. The meeting between Modi and Putin lasted for about 2:30 hours at the PM’s residence. PM Modi and Putin had talks alone on many important issues. During that time, PM Modi presented Geeta translated into Russian language to Putin.

About fifteen years ago, a case arose in Tomsk city of Siberia, which created a political stir in India. Local officials took exception to the Russian translation of “Bhagavad Gita As It Is” published by ISKCON and tried to label it extremist literature. The allegations were so serious that it was proposed that it be included in Russia’s extremist book list.

The story on the same Bhagavad Gita in the gift has been completely changed.
History presented itself in a new form. When PM Modi and Putin came face to face in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented him Bhagavad Gita translated in Russian language. This gift was not just a book. This was the message that the clouds of the past have cleared and both the countries are standing on the foundation of stronger trust than before. Today, India and Russia are seeing their relationship not just as a partnership but as a historical friendship and during that friendship, the existence of a spiritual text like Gita in itself tells that both the countries have not only left behind the disputes of the past, but also made them the basis of a new beginning.

Just hours before setting foot on Indian soil, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave an interview in the Catherine Hall of the Kremlin, which caught the attention of the world. For the first time, he spoke openly to two Indian women journalists about his personal views, feelings towards India and relations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This interview has come at the same time when India-Russia relations are at a new turning point and global politics is changing rapidly. During this conversation, Putin told the truth behind the story of the car ride with PM Modi during the SCO summit.

The day when Prime Minister Modi and Putin were seen sitting in the same Aurus Senate car after the SCO conference held in Tianjin, that moment became a part of history. When asked about this moment, Putin laughed lightly and said that there was no diplomatic formality in it. He himself had proposed that both of them should sit together and go. According to him, this step was a proof of personal trust and comfort between the two leaders. Putin also said that all this happened without any planning. As soon as we sat in the car the conversation started rapidly and even after reaching the destination the conversation continued for about 45 minutes.

Modi’s post, Putin’s wait and long conversation

While returning from the SCO conference, PM Modi had posted a picture with Putin on social media and wrote that conversations with him are always instructive. Reports from that day suggest that Putin himself waited for about ten minutes to receive the Prime Minister. Both went together from the conference venue to the hotel and even after reaching the hotel, an informal discussion continued for more than half an hour. This was the time when the world was witnessing slight tension in India-US relations, yet the warmth between India and Russia remained the same as before.

Why this message of friendship is important amid international tension

In recent times, there was tension in the economic relations between the two countries due to the taxes and warnings imposed by America on India regarding the purchase of Russian crude oil. Despite this, this scene of friendship between Putin and PM Modi gives a new signal to both public opinion and global politics that India does not take its diplomatic decisions under any pressure. Its relationship with Russia is strong not only at the strategic but also at the personal level.

Vladimir Putin India Visit Live Updates: Russian President Vladimir Putin will reach New Delhi today (November 4) on a two-day state visit. The main objective of Putin’s visit is to further strengthen India-Russia strategic and economic partnership, especially at a time when India-US relations are going through an increasingly bad phase.

US President Donald Trump was once again seen showing his attitude on the case of tariff. Trump said on Tuesday (September 2) that America is very powerful and without it nothing will be left in the world. He also reacted to the tariff imposed on India after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China. Trump said that whatever was being made by India was sending it to America, but due to 100 percent tariff we were not able to send anything to India.

Addressing a press conference from the oval office, Trump said, “We were not trading much with India, but they have been trading with us, because we were not taking any tariff from them, it was foolish. It was foolish. Was whatever items he made, he sent it to the US market. It remained a lot in America and we were not sending anything.

Nothing will be left without America – Trump

Donald Trump said, “”Nothing will be left in the world without America. America is very big and powerful. I have made it quite huge in the first few years.

Tariff has played an important role in trade. ‘ Trump justified the tariff imposed on all countries including India. He said that tariff will help save American jobs.

Why the ruckus about tariff

The US had first imposed 25 percent tariff on India, but increased it by 25 percent. In this way, a total of 50 percent tariff was imposed on India. Trump had said that India should not buy oil from Russia, but India did not make any changes in its business relations with Russia. For this reason, Trump put additional tariffs on India.
