India is showing renewed interest in reviving the Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral dialogue as a way to hedge its geopolitical bets amid intensifying global conflicts and Western dominance. Indian officials argue that maintaining strategic ties with both Russia and China is reasonable and necessary for India's national interests, especially regarding energy security and economic stability. The move reflects India's desire to balance its relationships with major powers while navigating complex Indo-Pacific tensions. The RIC dialogue, dormant for years, could serve as a platform for India to assert its autonomy and influence in a multipolar world. This approach underscores India's pragmatic foreign policy, prioritizing national interests over aligning exclusively with any single bloc.
