        It was billed as a clear signal of a very special relationship that Theresa May had chosen India as her first major bilateral visit outside Europe since taking charge as British Prime Minister. However, if she thought that trade and investment talks can be divorced from concerns over the UK’s ever tightening visa regime, she was in for a surprise.

                  India-Russia ties have a deep-rooted history but the political realities of the 21st century may require a fresh approach to old ties.

Russia has been an old and once-trusted supplier of defence equipment and weapons systems and has recently signed a slew of deals for co-production of military helicopters and Indian purchase of missiles and frigates. Separately, the Russian energy giant Rosneft led a consortium [...]
