Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Russia has ignited international debate, with journalist Radhakrishnan (RK) highlighting its geopolitical and political ramifications. Modi's close ties with President Putin, against the backdrop of Russia's controversial actions and strained relations with the West over Ukraine, challenge India's non-aligned stance and Western alliances. Domestically, Rahul Gandhi criticizes Modi's foreign policy, promoting democratic values and social welfare, contrasting Modi's emphasis on economic reforms and national security. RK predicts Modi will face significant challenges, testing his leadership amid political dissent and global polarization, affecting India's future trajectory.
