S-400 missile defence deal & US threat of sanctions
India on Thursday said discussions are going on with the US on the S-400 missile defence deal, a day after US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman expressed unease over New Delhi's procurement of the Russian weapons system. "This has been under discussion between our two countries for some time. It was raised and we have discussed it and explained our perspective. And discussions on this are ongoing," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said.
He was replying to a question on Sherman's comments on Wednesday on the India-Russia deal.

Sherman, on a three-day visit to India, told journalists that any decision on possible sanctions on the S-400 deal will be made by President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The issue of India procuring the S-400 missile system from Russia figured in Sherman's wide-ranging talks with Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla on Wednesday and both sides hoped to find a way out on the issue through dialogue.

"We've been quite public about any country that decides to use the S-400. We think that is dangerous and not in anybody's security interest. That said, we have a strong partnership with India," Sherman said.
"We want to be very thoughtful about the ways ahead, and discussions between our countries try to solve problems and I hope we will be able to in this instance as well," she said.
Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhary on Tuesday said that the first batch of S-400 missile defence system will arrive in India from Russia by this year.
The US has already imposed sanctions on Turkey under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) for the purchase of S-400 missile defences from Russia.

In October 2018, India had signed a USD 5 billion deal with Russia to buy five units of the S-400 air defence missile systems, despite a warning from the Trump administration that going ahead with the contract may invite US sanctions.
India made the first tranche of payment of around USD 800 million to Russia for the missile systems in 2019. The S-400 is known as Russia's most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile defence system.
Following US sanctions on Turkey, there have been apprehensions that Washington may impose similar punitive measures against India.
Russian ambassador to India Nikolay Kudashev said in April that both Russia and India do not recognise bilateral sanctions as they are "illegal tools" of "unlawful and unfair" competition and pressure.
Fitch retains BBB- grade, negative outlook for India’s sovereign rating Fitch said India could face a rating downgrade if it fails to put the government debt/GDP ratio on downward trajectory.

#Some_Process_of_Marxist_Thought!! Those who know about me will agree that I personally spent nearly 25 years of life as a full-time political worker of both CPIM and Maoist organizations. Still in the parade of cpim! Now when it is clear in the national political situation that the mandal-comandal duality is overcome, the politics is again being observed by the Congress-RSS duality and the major aspect of which is the RSS. The question is why the strong position of the Communists in 1952 was undermined after 64?! The matter is internal! Because the main conditions for the development of matter must be internal. Its release caused a major controversy in the party and we handled it in a non-Marxist way. First, the end of the 1964 controversy should have been limited — to the expulsion of the S, A, Dang from the Central Committee but what was served — the expulsion of even those who were against the party split! The party as a whole entered the era of cpi and cpim. Later, in th...
