“…With particular reference to Afghanistan, Kabulov acknowledged Pakistan as ‘a key regional player to negotiate with’. Such acknowledgment further underscores how much Islamabad can contribute to the fulfillment of Russia’s strategic interest in the region (Kaura, 2018).…”

Since donning the mantle of authority, President Putin has taken actions which have uninhibitedly been geared at reasserting Russia’s hegemony around the world. Putin’s Look East policy stems from his schematic geopolitics, a plan which was formally announced in 2010. Through the prism of Putin’s Look East policy, the paper contextually analyses Russia–South Asia relations, with reference to India and Pakistan. By cross-examining Russia’s official foreign policy documents, the paper establishes why South Asia is paramount to Russia’s economic and geostrategic reassertion. Every new policy has its challenges, and the same holds true for the Look East policy vis-à-vis South Asia. Premised on the unfolding geopolitics in the region, the paper surmises that striking a balance between New Delhi and Islamabad will be problematic for Moscow, just as it has always been for Washington.

“…Contrary to this, Khan, (2016) stated that before 1991, there remained momentarily good relations between Russia and Pakistan and both countries joined hands for the welfare of their dwellers including education, edification, line of work, import-export and many other social as well as economic areas of life. However, this harmony existed for a short duration of time, such as from 1947 to 1969 (Abbas, 2016;Kaura, 2018). On the whole, both countries are living as the enemies of each other due to difference in their point of views for regional as well as international politics and national security rules (Khalid and Roy, 2016;Katrandzhiev, 2019).…”

Numerous ups and down has been observed in the relations between Pakistan and Russia. Their history is full of having virtuous associations as well as bitter memories among themselves. Russia is economically developed and a strong resource country, while Pakistan is still struggling hard to cover the success staircase. However, upright associations between Russia and Pakistan can open a window of mutual benefits for Pakistan as well as for Russia. Russia is self-sufficient in energy resources such as oil and gas, while Pakistan is an energy deficit country. Therefore, after smoothing the internal relations between Pakistan and Russia, a milestone can be covered exporting the Russian gas and oil to Pakistan. Pakistan is sanctified with the globally excellent military power, and Russia can learn a lot to eliminate terrorism and other relating dangers. Therefore, good sort of associations between Russia and Pakistan can revolutionize the regional politics of both countries.

“…Also, India remains a traditional buyer of Russian defense equipment (68%, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) report, 2016) (Purushothaman, 2015). Kaura (2018) adds that India and Russia are victims of their different perceptions over Taliban and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) where Islamabad and Moscow's views converge. Russia's relations with Pakistan are only concerned about Pakistan's strategic location and Islamic fundamentalism in Afghanistan and Central Asia.…”

The article offers an assessment of Iran’s role in India’s foreign policy calculations vis-à-vis Sino-Pak axis. The changing geopolitical and geostrategic dynamics in the post-Cold War era have brought about new possibilities and opportunities in the Eurasian space. Given the geographical conditions and re-emergence of geopolitical competition, regional connectivity through ports has taken a pivotal position in bilateral and multilateral engagements. Therefore, the port geopolitics has become a buzzword in the regional connectivity. India has many geopolitical, geostrategic and geo-economic interests in the Eurasian region. However, the potential has not been realized yet due to the lack of geographical connectivity. In the backdrop of emerging Sino-Pak axis, their moves and countermoves have been limiting India’s multilateral interests including the connectivity across the Eurasian region. In these matrices, Iran’s Chabahar Port due to its strategic location has become a crucial enabler for India. However, Iran has offered investment opportunities even to China and Pakistan in the same project. The existing enmities/competition between India and China-Pakistan has made it difficult for New Delhi to convert the proposed project of Chabahar Port into reality. Against this background, the article would try to give answers to these questions; what are the regional dynamics regarding the Sino-Pak axis to block India’s connectivity with the Eurasian region? And how Iran’s Chabahar Port can be a helping factor in India’s counterbalancing strategy for Sino-Pak axis?
