> Nope, first it would be Russia that would help India. Russia has been the long term trust worthy friend of India.

No matter how the war turns out, Russia will be significantly weakened. The isolation from the West will force it into a closer and subservient relationship with China. There is no way Russia will take India's side against China.

With US pulling out of Afghanisthan, importance of Pakistan reduces for the US and with Quad the relationship will grow. Until things solidify and some deals are worked out, India will have to tread carefully. That's my point.

QUAD relationship would be under strain given that other 3 members have sided with West.

The whole point of Quad is to counter China which is meaningless without Indian involvement.
