Moscow: Indian men promise to be ideal spouses for Russian women, affected as they are by a high male death rate, due to unhealthy lifestyles.

That is the opinion of Maria Arbatova, leading Russian feminist author and prominent television presenter.

"The import of eligible bachelors from India is my big geopolitical idea," she told RIA Novosti news agency.

India can be of help now that Russia has come to grips with its formidable demographic problem, Arbatova said during the launch of her latest book "A Taste of India" at the 20th Moscow International Book Fair recently.

"First, both Russians and Indians are Indo-Europeans, and we speak related languages. Just look at the many similarities between Sanskrit and modern Russian vocabularies. Second, and even more important, the archetypal Indian man is a fanatic paterfamilias. To raise many children is his cherished dream, and he makes the best possible husband," remarked Arbatova, who is married to Shumeet of West Bengal.

Attracting Indian bachelors to Russia should be a government policy, she argues, or Russia will soon have two crosses to bear, one of its own male deaths and the other the Chinese birth rate.

"Asian Russia, from the Pacific coast up to the Urals, is full of Chinese men anxious to marry Russian girls. If the Chinese are not promptly balanced out, no matter by whom - Indians, Africans or extraterrestrials - either Asian Russia will become a Chinese province before 2050 or Chinese will become Russia's second official language," she jokes ironically.

"Just look, Russia has two employment agencies in China, and none in India. Shame!"

Arbatova's book went on sale last spring and was on the bestseller list in summer. Britain's
International Biographical Centre of Cambridge has awarded her its 20th Century Outstanding Achievement gold medal.

The author points out many similarities between Russian and Indian life. "Socialism got my country out of the Big Game for 70 years. Colonialism did the same to India for two centuries. Both nations are now getting back to their sources in the age of globalisation.

That's hard to do - like walking home inside a centrifuge," she says.

If I were to marry a Russian woman and have her follow me everywhere, all the pleasant smiles I get from Punjabi women would be extinguished. And this is something I am not willing to give up. Their smiles make my days pleasant.

You were perchance reacting to a very subtle cultural reality -- or not so subtle. See, you are a sensitive guy!

Indian men and women have been immigrating to all points of the globe. Hence, moving to Russia would only be one more destination. Two questions for the men.

1. Did anyone pick up on the implication that the Indian men are supposed to move to Russia? Not the other way around.

2. Did anyone notice that the rationale for moving and marrying is to solve Russia's political and economic challenges? As understood by the moderator.

Wow! That is what I call human currency. Strong against other foreign currencies I suppose.

is it just me, or dose this whole idea seem a bit rascist... "quick, marry indians before the chinese take over!"

China and russia share borders so obviously russians don't want more chinese in russia because there is every chance that they could declare parts of russia as chinese parts.Also if i am not wrong in russia female to male ratio is 1200:1000 so obviously they want men from other countries

Well the beauty of russian girls is enough for indian men to move to russia.Sorry american and punjabi ladies but russian beauties rocks.E.g. maria sharapova,anna kournikova
