BRICS has expanded to ten nations, now representing 46% of the world’s population and 36% of global GDP, unsettling Western powers. While Russia and China push for a common currency, India remains cautious, prioritizing strategic autonomy and slow rupee internationalization. New Delhi seeks greater IMF voting power before supporting currency reforms and is wary of a yuan-dominated system. The U.S. has threatened tariffs on BRICS-aligned countries, reflecting concerns over de-dollarization and waning influence in the Global South. India’s approach: reap BRICS benefits without compromising sovereignty or falling under China’s shadow. #brics2025 #IndiaBRICS #dedollarization #bricscurrency #USvsBRICS #globaleconomy #imf #indiachinatensions #geopolitics2025 #bricsexpansion #bricsnews #brics #bricssummit2025 #GlobalSouthRising #currencywars
