Indian government when you actually have to pay for the international trade you order.
Russia got duped by India where India promised to build large ship tankers for Russia. I just don't understand how Russia agreed on it. It's a total scam from India's side. India will not pay Yuan because of it's racism and nationalism but it doesn't have a credible currency to back their transfers.
INR in itself shouldn't be terrible at least as part of a currency mix, my understanding was the rupees used to pay Russia were blocked currency and only usable for Indian exports, which Russia has only limited use for.
Correct, INR is a dead currency for Russia. Because Russia needs good amount of automobiles, high grade finished products which India has none.
After liberalization destroyed the little industry India had developed during state capitalism we basically had nothing to offer the world except for cheap software engineers.

this is rough
Liberalization was around August I believe so the crisis you linked wasn't a direct result of the liberalization. Its evils took a while to accumulate, but I know family members whose former prosperous factory cities have become ghost towns due to deindustrialization after the License Raj ended.
