Is Modi and the BJP aware of the consequences of this new intelligence alliance with the US? Are the Indian elite prepared to send as many of their people to die in the Himalayas just to preserve the anglo american power structure?

Anglo led alliance always need a non white spear carrier/cannon fodder element; NATO has the Turks (turks are the largest manpower wise against Russia) and the Quad requires Indians to act as the same cannon fodder to soak up Chinese machine gun bullets.

The answer to both of those questions is clearly yes. It's not like India has any better choices.

Once again, it's not like India is going to be supplying the advanced technology. This is perfectly natural and I predicted years back that India would drift more and more into the US camp - I for one welcome such clarity for two reasons: 1) It removes a significant obstacle to getting Russia to stop fence-sitting and join China's camp. 2) It's fitting that India know and take its proper place as a vassal; that's all it ever was and all it'll ever amount to. I'm happy the silly pretense of a "multipolar" world is finally coming to an end; this is a bipolar world and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

I would say it's complicated when answering the question " Are the Indian elite prepared to send as many of their people to die in the Himalayas just to preserve the anglo american power structure?"
The indian elites will probably send as many, with promise of daal chaul( food).
However i heavily doubt it's effectiveness in actual ground given there is big difference between Nationalism-Patriotism v/s Social media Nationalism-Patriotism.
There is a reason why despite being patriot nationalistic india lost almost every war in history. You can compare it somewhat to taiwan island in terms of nationalism which reminds of a quote of jack sparrow --- "We must fight...to run away"

I don't disagree with your assessment. However, being a neighbor to one of these two superpowers sharing a border paints a whole different picture to how one would play this hand. Even if you were to be a vassal, to be a vassal against your neighbor brings calamity to the country in ways that would not be if their weren't sharing a border. This is a reason that no matter how the Russians tilt, they would at worst be neutral and would not be China's enemy.
Another factor to consider is the fact that two superpowers is inherently unstable. As time marches on, it is highly highly unlikely that the two superpowers would remain static in relation to the other. One of these two will zoom past the other and become the much bigger power. If you are vassal to your neighbor, at least you get to stay in tact as a nation even if your neighbor loses, since the large ocean would mean that it would take a lot more for the other superpower to come mess with you. If you were a vassal against your neighbor and you made the wrong bet, you will be dismembered when your superpower goes away to the other side of the Pacific.
When the time comes, you can switch sides, but it would not be possible to erase the memory. At that time, it would be contingent on your neighbor to either accept your surrender, or decide that it was better to see you broken up.
