Despite India's continued support for Russia and a contentious case of a British activist jailed in India, UK's Labour Party leader, Starmer, has prioritized trade over these issues during his visit to India. Starmer's trip comes as India seeks new trading partners due to US tariffs and the UK looks to secure a post-Brexit free trade deal. While Starmer dodged questions about India's oil purchases from Russia and the jailed activist, his visit was marked by significant welcome gestures and potential business deals, including a Bollywood studio's commitment to produce films in Britain.
