India's neutrality is due to several factors all aligning in the same direction:-

  • We need wheat, fertilisers and oil from Russia.

  • Most Indians, across the political spectrum, have a positive view of Russia due to all the things they did for us during the Cold War. Most Indians wouldn't know what a Ukraine is.

  • The Ukrainian police (and many citizens) attacked Indian students and workers trying to leave the country when the war began. They were also accused of using Indians and Africans as human shields. Ukraine and NATO are also supporting the Gaza genocide.

(I'm guessing there is also some schadenfreude, at least among some people, at seeing a European country getting colonised by a semi-Asian one.)

Also, India has a one-China policy and does not usually comment on the internal affairs of other countries.
