Modi knew he would largely be ignored with the likes of
Putin and Xi at the SCO meeting. Modi has Hindu cult support in India
and has a big ego to uphold and does not handle well with any bruising
of his big ego. India had already been singled out as acting contrary to
BRICS agenda of expansion and Modi knows it, and so does those at the
SCO meeting.
At any big meeting, Putin and Xi will get the
lion's share of the press coverage. At the G20 meeting in Bali in 2022,
even Biden was upstaged by Xi's presence. Most leaders attending the G20
in Bali were keen to speak to Xi on the sidelines.
Not many
heads of state, even USA Presidents, gets the kind of welcome that Xi
got in Astana, Kazakhstan. A Jets fly past followed by inspection of
Guard of Honour can only be for someone that is appreciated. Xi had the
same distinctive Jet fly past welcome in Saudi Arabia. He was equally
well received in Slovakia and Hungary. Why do they go all out to put on
such a welcome for one demonized as a 'Dictator'? Oh please, do not say
that the CCP paid them to put on a good show.

PS. The agenda of SCO would be about security and trade within central Asian states, mostly the Muslim states with China and Russia, about BRI, about more new members, nothing concerning India. India is just a calefare in the SCO with no roles to play.
