Economic, Political, and Strategic Dynamics: India in BRICS

    The world is experiencing another paradigm shift in the 21st century in form of an emerging economy driven world. BRICS has become an important forum for developing countries to cooperate in fields of trade, finance, diplomacy and global governance. The bloc was created in 2009 by Brazil, Russia, India and China and subsequently South Africa joined, all representing the desire to achieve a more balanced and multipolar international order. BRICS' members have an important role in global affairs since they make up a large share of the world's population, production and international trade. BRICS provides important opportunities for India to strengthen its trade and financial partnership, enhance its political standing, and reduce its dependence on West through institutions like the New Development Bank. However, barriers still persist, from trade imbalances, and infrastructural issues, geopolitical conflicts to the differing interests of member states.
