Well, India will always be India: the source of lots of laughters and joy for the global audience…..

My 1.5 cents opinion or observation : Yes. India economy is the 5th largest in the world. Yes. India has the largest population and therefore large market. Yes. India is present every where whether as member or being invited most if not all international arena. So therefore India MUST have a role to play in every fields. Honestly are all the above YES really grow your economy and bring prosperity to your peoples? I dont know whether you have heard about the wide spread remark that India is the graveyard of multi nationals? Do you know that China businessmen are demanding full payment before shipping? Why the purchasers from the West ask whether the i Phone they wanted to buy comes from India or China? How many of the 8 or 9 neighboring countries of India have good relationship with India? There are many more.

China is trying to catch up with the future...India under Modi is trying to catch the past

India is the super power of the world on youtube

The 2027 BRICS = Brazil , Russia , Iran , China and South Africa ! Modie don't belong to BRICS ,  this organization don't have a official leader of the group  which Modie desperate to have a title ,  even proclaim himself as the spokesman for the Globe South last year  , which was a joke of the day  to all the Globe South county  and to the rest of the world  !

this is just such a sad collection of people. This is why India is in the shape that it is- the Indian intelligentsia- maybe other than Suhasini Haider  seem to have no moral clarity whatsoever, just pretend brinksmanship. Iran as shown that moral clarity can be effective by teaching the US a lesson. India cowers in fear and colonial servitude.  I had thought that India's foreign policy was morally rudderless just because of Modi and the BJP, but these people show me that the disease is widespread and cuts along political boundaries.

Nice one. Worth watching, expect more and more. Thanks to all.😌

Although India joined BRICS as a founding member with the aim of uplifting the economies of developing nations—collectively known as the 'Global South'—its objectives have since shifted; it has begun to act out of self-interest, prioritizing only itself. It has now transformed into a force that creates stalemates within the bloc. India's alliance with Israel—a nation widely regarded as a terrorist state and a notorious violator of human rights—has sparked shock and revulsion among the countries of the 'Global South'.

Tectonic shift is taking place in global balance of power. It is universally accepted. And BRICS is at the centre of this.
The cavalier attitude of these people towards BRICS...except to some extent of Suhasini Haider...speaks volumes of either their incompetence or their arrogance. Either way it typifies India's attitude towards BRICS....and the reason why Iran rather than India finds itself at the centre of these changes alongwith China and Russia

America reacted by imposing 100 percent tariff onus. Masterstroke.

What leverage does India have with Democracy & 1.4 billion population which majority of them with poverty and no buying or consumption ability.

Thank you Suhasini for holding firm on your opinion and learned views on India's position in the world and the relevance of BRICS.

I don't understand how democracy can be a leverage when it is not working properly within the country only. 😂😂

Achieve at least 9 percent annual growth while fortifying our borders. Instead of purchasing expensive foreign defense equipment, redirect those funds toward local research, development, and domestic production. Concurrently, we will enhance our nuclear delivery capabilities to deter external threats and prevent provocations. Throughout this process, we must remain HUMBLE. we MUST not declare victory at the launch of any PROJECT, but will wait until its final accomplishment. Our principle must be: either ACCOMPLISH it, or do not begin."

Actually India has all sorts of leverage over the US but a real lack of courage to use it.

India could, like China and Russia, create domestic versions of US social media and tech firms and make it clear that US tech companies' access to India is contingent on US behavior.

India could decide not to support or even oppose US policy in the Middle East by drawing closer to Iran and away from Israel.

India could adopt or threaten to adopt a more anti-Ukrainian policy.

India could work to assist Cuba and Myanmar from subversion and blockade.

India could refrain from assisting the US against China in the Pacific via the Quad.

India could play China and the US against each other when it comes to using their technology stacks.

India could be proactive in opposing US policies that go against Indian interests. So when the US imposes a sanction, treat it as a hostile trade measure and stop a weapons deal with the US, create problems for a US firm in India, or raise a tariff.

India could deprive the US economy of trained labor it sends there, if it is willing to make an economy that will employ them in India.

India could use intellectual property compliance or lack thereof as a tool to get concessions .

India could instead of complying with oil sanctions use its refining capacity as a tool to get concessions (this would require putting national interests over Ambani).

India can pass laws to prevent domestic firms from complying with US sanctions. India can use government owned firms to protect its economy from such sanctions. India can work alone and with partners harder on non-dollar payments.

India can test a full scale thermonuclear weapon. India can test missiles that can reach the US, which it has stopped short of presumably so as not to threaten or offend.

India can make the Indian Ocean uncomfortable or unsafe for hostile US acts like against neighbors like Iran.

India is located between the Suez, Malacca and Hormuz and could create problems for global trade if its own economy is threatened by hostile acts.

Most easily, India can speak out forcefully and regularly when the US does things it doesn't like, but Modi is mute when it comes to Trump.

Don’t understand this discussion about de dollarisation. Say world shifts to Yuan and pile up Yuan, what will they use it for. Chinese bonds or shares or real estate.

Quit calling in a mutual admiration society from a very narrow set of professions.  No discussion is meaningful without a private business perspective.  The key issue in G2, BRICS, G7 is the mercantile approach from China in particular and the consequent deindustrialization in most other countries.

all talk they go no where,

The lady is the most clear and most courageous in this round.
