BRICS seriously needs to review — or straight up reconsider — its partnership with India.

If the interests of Wall Street and Washington were looking for a convenient entry point to disrupt, sabotage, or plant a mold inside the bloc to spy and manipulate, India would fit the bill perfectly.

Let’s stop pretending everything is fine. Money talks, and geopolitical loyalty often walks right out the damn door when the dollars start flowing. 💵

Right now, India is starting to look less like a reliable partner and more like a fucking liability inside a coalition that’s supposed to challenge Western financial dominance.

BRICS can’t claim to build an alternative system while keeping members whose alignment is constantly drifting back toward the same power structures the bloc supposedly exists to counter.

At some point you have to call it what it is: either you’re committed to the bloc, or you’re playing both sides and selling everyone else out.

BRICS is a scam which exists more in vacuous analysis of geollpolitics "experts" than in reality.

Why do you say that? Any evidence (real or circumstantial)? PS: this is a genuine question.

The global economic system has been in place for 500 years or more. It's not going to be easily challenged. India, along with 56 nations is firmly in the grip of the British Commonwealth (Empire). The real money & power is behind the scenes. We know this. Yet, a shift IS taking place. It's uneven with only China truly (at least mostly) sovereign & Russia perhaps so, even though the oligarchs who established themselves after USSR collapse must always be factored in. All the rest of the nations are under some sort of neo-colonial economic grip as well as political. A huge struggle is happening in front of us to wrest clear of this stranglehold. Please have compassion for the tremendous, epochal change this represents!

India is an increasingly sick country, with upper caste Hindus firmly in control of social, economic and political narratives. The bourgeoisie are mostly a despicable lot, eager to institute a hyper national capitalist hellscape in their bid for superpower status.

People might find it ironical that a country that endured brutal colonisation for about two centuries should side with a settler colonial society instead of the oppressed, but India has never been truly decolonised. It has been a brutal apartheid state since at least 2000 BC or so, the exploitative extraction aimed at low caste Hindus, the "untouchables" and the indigineous people of the soil (also called Adivasis).

The British occupation of India was simply another chapter in the long and sordid history of apartheid India. Infact, upper caste Hindus colluded with the British to man the levers of colonial power on their behalf, the reason why the British could control such a large region with miniscule numbers of their compatriots relocating there.

The Nehruvian view of the Third world being a bulwark against neo colonial practices is denigrated and denounced in India these days. Nehru is cast as a sly,degenerate, pusillanimous Hinduphobe. Those halcyon days when India supported the right of Palestinians to self determination are long gone. The upper caste bigots could be kept at bay only for a short amount of time, their recrudescence inevitable. The masters don't brook any erosion of their power; they always reclaim it. And so they did, with the near simultaneous emergence of a liberalised economy benefitting the few and the BJP as a force in national politics not mere coincidence.

One might wonder why the lower castes don't band together to end this state of affairs. Why has this system endured for so long? Its an authoritarian system that enjoys the sanction of "religion". And the sway of religion in India cannot be overstated. Hinduism isn't a religion in the conventional sense, its adherents touting it as a "way of life". It indeed is. This "way of life" lauds, prescribes and perpetuates the most brutal form of social stratification, discrimination and exploitation ever devised. And when the gloss of religion sanctifies this system, the high priests concocting sophisticated sounding metaphysical balderdash in the obscure language of Sanskrit, it exerts a vice like grip on the psyche of Hindu society. Therefore the conviction of the greatest of Indian men, Dr.B.R. Ambedkar, that the caste system had to be annihilated through the destruction and debunking of Hindu shastras (scriptures) for Indian society to be really free to blossom. Until such time India will remain a brutal state with sympathies for others of its ilk.

Indian liberals are the worst liberals anywhere in the world. They are the most feckless, the most degenerate, the most vapid, the most vacuous lot. The sounds from their mouths and backsides are hard to differentiate.

The charge against Nehru of being a Hinduphobe is laughable. Perry Anderson has done a good job of highlighting how steeped he was in Hindu mythology and how his Hindu supremacist views a lot of the Congress decision making pre- and post-independence.

While Ambedkar was laudable, he could have done a better job with the Constitution, especially by ridding it of all too obvious Hindu confessionalism.

Two abhorrent fascisms literally modernity without human rights, thanks for calling it out. Israel is a more extreme apartheid version of the caste based Indian system toward which Modi is being pushed willingly and democratically by RSS. Both involve systemic discrimination and mobility restrictions but India’s isn’t codified like Israel. The RSS see themselves as settler colonialists displacing Adivasi native tribal lands and resources as inheritors of the British colonialism’s feudal origin and so have their own Palestinians in a manner of speaking displaced from the courts through lack of resources primarily money and Indians that don’t care. The difference is Adivasi do get a rare hearing and even rarer justice while Palestinians are outside the courts in military occupation. Both systems are growning more monstrous with technology.

Compared to the Palestinians, adivasis get a lot from the Indian state. They have reserved seats in state legislatures and the parliament, quotas in all state-run educational institutions, quotas in government jobs, and subsidised food and cooking gas. Of course, I am not saying this to put them down just saying that compared to the Palestinians, the adivasis get a helping hand from the Indian state.

Modi is being pushed willingly and democratically by RSS

Modi has always been a narcissist ideologue. He has been an RSS worker since childhood. While the RSS has always been genocidal, it has been very patient with its project that began all the way back in 1925. Modi has accelerated that project into the tenth gear since he first came to power nationally in 2014. It’s less RSS pushing him and more him accelerating the genocidal RSS project.

The ignorance of the BJP and RSS is that most Indian Muslims are as native to the land as Hindus. Most have converted in the past due to the repressive Hindu caste system. India’s strength in the past has always been having its different religious group’s united. It was the British method for divide and conquer. Modi’s servitude and acceptance of the Zionist philosophy will only weaken India. Like the Zionist he needs to create an enemy to distract the public for his failed policies. Like the Zionist, Muslims and Christians along with other minorities become the chosen targets. For those advocating Hindutva, in such a system one wonders how an upper caste Hindu can have accept being ruled by a lower caste.

These fools are only hurting themselves. India is one of the most diverse countries on Earth. The BJP’s right wing lunacy will eventually tear their Union apart. Only a liberal democracy can keep India United and strong.
