They're not siding with the pirates. They are policing their territorial waters, which is their right. Maybe they feel a little uncomfortable with armed, paramilitary personnel. Remember "Blackwater". We wouldn't want this vessel in our waters, either. They screwed up by running out of fuel, so it is their own fault. Somebody didn't do their job correctly and India wants to make sure they don't screw up again.
"We wouldn't want this vessel in our waters, either."
Why not? Who had they harmed? And what's this "we"?
Unless they are aggressive hostiles who need to be defended against (which is a necessarily higher bench mark than "feeling uncomfortable" if one embraces liberty), the right of people to keep and bear arms ought to be honored.
