Why is India okay with fuelling Putin's war? Should we be okay with that? Should we sanction India? It just seems like we ought to get India to be on the better side of history here, but not sure how to achieve that. It is a real shame that they don't seem to care.

India has always embraced their third world status (in the original meaning of the word) by trading with both the Western and Eastern block.
They'll work with whomever benefits them the most at that moment. If they can buy cheap Russian oil, or in this case sell oil back to a desperate Russian president, they're going to jump on that.
Just keep in mind that India is not an ally to the West. They merely are a partner as long as it benefits them, and they won't let it keep them from trading with countries who you might not want them to trade with.

I wonder if they’re pissed about being gouged over the Admiral Gorshkov?

They care a lot.
About all the money they're making.

India has always been good at setting its own independent foreign policy without retaliation from other powers by virtue of its size, both geographically and population.

A large amount of the crude needed to make gasoline in Indian refineries came from Russia anyway via the dark fleet, so..?
