India is trying to get G20 countries to not to refer to Russia's war in Ukraine as a 'war,'

India tried to stop G20 countries describing the war Russia started in Ukraine as a "war," even as the conflict enters its second year, reports say.

During the group's negotiations over a joint communique on Wednesday, India tried to convince members of the G20 to instead call the war a "crisis" or a "challenge," both Reuters and Bloomberg reported.

Reuters cited delegates of at least seven G20 countries for its report, while Bloomberg cited a further person familiar with the matter. None of the sources was named.

Reuters said Indian delegates tried to push for a consensus but were unsuccessful. Meetings continued in Bengaluru on Thursday.

4. I hear hints of possible justification for military policing actions in Kashmir

Kashmir is a three way disputed state; Pakistan lays claim, India lays claim, and local Kashmiri groups want independence.

Of course, India is also positioning itself as a major player in the world, not necessarily aligned with the West, but also independent from China. They are willing to leverage resources from these entities, but they're not going to bow down as they feel more confident about their geo-political strengths.
Do not underestimate India, even if their customs are different enough from ours that they seem more like a developing country than an advanced World power. They also have a history of empire, and they learned a lot about modern world politics both during and after the British Raj.
India is a technical and nuclear power house with influences they've seeded in major countries all over the world, even though most of the western world tends only to see the results of a caste system, the "exotic" Hindu religion and relics, and the rest of the tourist sights.

3. I am not a lawyer but "war of aggression" sounds right.

Russia is aggressively seeking to extend it's borders by invading another sovereign nation. The purpose of which is to strategically and economically benefit Russia/and a few Russians as I see it.
