From what I read India and Russia are really old friends, that's why India isn't saying anything and they do lot of business.

More than old friends. India is heavily reliant on russian arms. Replacing them would be a slow, expensive process. Considering it is surrounded on two sides by aggressors with regular conflicts, jeopardizing relations with Russia is not an option.
