Ravi: As I have publicly written earlier, as an Indian citizen I am very grateful to the people and leaders of the former Soviet Union and now Russian Federation for the help and support they have rendered to India for many decades, shortly after India achieved independence and was rather desperately in need of help in various fields including science, technology and defense. Long live the friendship and co-operation between the people of Russia and India!
