The international community is watching India's stance on Ukraine. New Delhi has avoided direct condemnation of Russia's invasion and has abstained from every United Nations resolution on the issue. This commitment to a neutrality has triggered a heated debate in the country.

An economic heavyweight, India now ranks alongside the U.K. and France in terms of gross domestic product. Its actions have a ripple effect on peace and security that reverberates across the globe.
