They have the ability to turn it back on in times of war. Same for GLONASS. Obviously it worried the Indian military command that the US could use this option incase of furture conflict with Pakistan. That is why India has chosen the Russian system.

It is obvious that countries such as Russia and China are resisting the geopolicy of the U.S. empire. This is not some kind of point or agenda that I want to push, this is an obvious conclusion based on the observation of current events. So just because the "cold war has ended" doesn't mean the U.S. will never be challenged again on the global scale. Nationalistic pride of some U.S. citizens here prevents them from looking dispassionately at the fact that there is a coalition of countries which are now actively challenging U.S. dominance.
And just because India inherited its relationship with Russia from the cold war doesn't make it any less of a current fact that she is sponsoring the development of the Russian military-industrial complex--where as the U.S. would rather see a degradation of it. You think this is not political, but I disagree with you. And only time will tell whether the strength of this relationship will decline or become more comprehensive.
