On India, Russia and the World, Dammu Ravi, former BRICS sherpa and secretary (economic relations) at India’s Ministry of External Affairs, joins Runjhun Sharma, head of news at RT India, to clear the air about the anti-West narrative surrounding BRICS.
Ravi argues that achieving consensus amid major geopolitical tensions was a significant success and explains why BRICS countries are exploring non-dollar trade and alternative payment systems. He also weighs in on India-China ties, India-US trade negotiations, the complete disregard of the WTO by certain countries and the Global South, arguing that India will not accept measures that hurt its growth and warning that keeping countries out of the global trade and investment architecture could spell trouble ahead.
