The just-concluded 15th India-Russia annual summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has proven to be an unprecedented success. Key sources told this writer that in money terms all the twenty pacts signed by the two sides covering such areas as oil exploration, infrastructure, nuclear energy, defence and diamonds amount to a whopping $100 billion.
This is what Putin said: “We had constructive talks on a whole gamut of issues. We are working on 20 nuclear power plant units for India. India and Russia encourage use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.”
A few minutes earlier, Modi had remarked thus: "We have outlined an ambitious vision for nuclear energy for at least 10 more reactors."
This is a win-win situation for both the sides as Russia is the only country that is willing to do business with India and set up new nuclear power plants despite the tough liability laws. While Russia gets a monopoly in India’s nuclear market by default, India also gets to flaunt this achievement to powers like the US, France and others and force them to fall in line.

A newly constituted contact group on civil nuclear issues between India and the US will meet for the first time in December, almost three months after it was announced. While the focus of the talks may be on nuclear liability matters, India is facing fresh obstacles from the US nuclear establishment.
Russia's top oil producer Rosneft struck oil and gas deals with India on Thursday, seeking to strengthen ties with Asia and diversify its exports away from Europe, under pressure from Western sanctions.
Rosneft signed an initial deal to supply 10 million tonnes a year or 200,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil to India's Essar Group over 10-years, its head Igor Sechin told reporters. Supplies could begin as early as in 2015.Rosneft has offered a 10 percent stake in the Vankor oilfields, but New Delhi is pushing for a 25 percent interest. India is also seeking tax breaks on a proposed 49 percent stake in Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye, a greenfield project in eastern Siberia.

I enjoy seeing the end of the IMF, World Bank, Federal Reserve, and the Bank of International Settlements and their associate energy multinational corps monopoly on the world.
Looks like BRICS is doing a great job

I hardly think you will enjoy it at all. If the IMF, World Bank and Federal Reserve collapse. We will be in a world of hurt.
Who will be paying Our wages if Our system collapses? Who will give Our firms Money to manufacture goods? Who will give us a lone to buy a house or a car?

Interesting.
Makes you wonder if this wasn't let happen so that India could be a bigger thorn in China's side.
I bet Pakistan isn't happy about this one bit.
