🚨🇮🇳🇷🇺 How USSR helped India in the struggle for independence

While the West tried to stifle India’s growth, the USSR made a decisive stand:

"India’s sovereignty will not be threatened."

This is a story you NEED to know 🧵👇

⌛️It all began in 1857, with the First War of Independence.

The British crushed the rebellion, but they couldn’t crush the spirit of resistance.

This would be the first spark in the eventual fight for freedom.

🗓In 1905, Gandhi wrote, “If the Russian people succeed, this revolution will be regarded as the greatest victory of the present century.”

He recognised the power of rebellion and saw Russia as an example of resistance against imperialism.

🚨🚨 Russia’s next-gen weapons pack a DEADLY PUNCH

Let’s breakdown which systems could be powerful additions to India’s already formidable arsenal.

🇷🇺 Military analyst Igor Korotchenko pulls back the curtain: 🧵👇

🚀 S-500

This system system isn't just about tech—it's about deep political agreements between two world powers.

Russia is ready to meet India halfway, as long as New Delhi is prepared for such collaboration.

🇷🇺 Russia and India share a strategic relationship, meaning no major contract is off the table, including cutting-edge systems like the S-500.

🚨🇮🇳🇺🇸 US tariffs against India aren’t about Russian oil.

They’re about sabotaging the 'Make in India' initiative.

Here's why:🧵

1️⃣ The US has hit Indian imports with a total 50% tariff — 25% earlier this month, another 25% from Aug 27.

Official reason: “Facilitating” the Ukraine conflict via Russian oil purchases.

Real reason: Can’t stomach a strong, independent India.

2️⃣ EYESORE FOR THE WEST

🔹India is the world's 5th largest economy

🔹Demographic dividend: median age is 29

🔹Pushing for self-reliance not only in manufacturing — but also in software & IT.

US tariffs have only strengthened India’s resolve for Atmanirbhar Bharat.
