India-Caliphate relations (Russo-Islamic World War III)

India-Caliphate relations were the bilateral relations between the Republic of India and the Confederation of Holy Islamic Nations.

India was one of the Caliphate's most important allies, along with Russia, Indonesia and Iran. and the bilateral relations between the two were considered to be one of the world's richest and most important. Together, India was part of what the Caliphate to be considered its "Big Five". Together, the two formed the G6-East, also known as the "Group of 6".

The high ties between the Caliphate stemmed from historical interactions, where India has had many long ties with the Middle East, as well as the high Muslim population in India.

Many mosques were built in India in honor of the alliance between India and the Caliphate. Trade between the two was estimated to be around €54.9 billion. India was the Caliphate's largest exporter of textiles and the largest exporter of diamonds. Diamond and jewel transections were conducted in the Indian rupee. The Caliphate also helped fund many madrasahs in India.

In addition, many celebrities from member states of the Caliphate were integral to Bollywood, India's very own cinema and entertainment industry.

In addition, India was the Caliphate's second-largest exporter of arms, second only to Russia.

Ties with the Caliphate also helped India and Pakistan have cordial relations, since Pakistan was a member of the Caliphate, with both agreeing to establish buffer zones in Kashmir. Sultan Sharif of Pakistan had once stated, "India is not our enemy, the West is. Times change."

Politicians of the Caliphate often referred to India's president as the "Great Maharajah", and allusions to the preceding empires of each nation. The Caliphate also considered India a de facto country of the Muslim World, and even attempted to change the definition of "Muslim World" to include India in it.

When Sultan Mehmet declared war against Russia, India ended its alliance with the Caliphate, and declared war on the Caliphate.
