🌍🇮🇳 A bigger BRICS can amplify India’s global voice—but size alone isn’t power. India’s vision of resilience, innovation, sustainability and people-centric development can give BRICS a more practical and inclusive direction. #BRICS #GlobalSouth #India #UPSC @IndianExpress

Prof @sreeramchaulia, clearly, without seen to be judgemental, @AmbMoKumar stood out by a mile n Amb @ruchirakamboj closely following while others pitching in significantly so well.
How does multilateralism advance India’s national interests? What skills and strategies do Indian Foreign Service officers bring to the multilateral table? How is India adjusting and diversifying amid the crisis in universal multilateral institutions like the UN and the WTO? Why is India able to play a lead role in issue-based smaller multilateral institutions like the G20 and the BRICS? How significant are new multilateral institutions founded by India such as the ISA, CDRI, GBA and IBCA? Is India shaping the regional architecture in Asia via multilateral bodies like the SCO, BIMSTEC, IORA and Quad? Is India becoming a rule-maker rather than a rule-taker in the emerging international order? For answers, watch this special episode of ‘Indian Diplomacy’ on Doordarshan, featuring a roundtable with four distinguished former Indian diplomats-Ruchira Kamboj, Preeti Saran, Sanjay Bhattacharyya and Mohan Kumar. 🔗 youtu.be/U_fYigqvLZ8?si=G7OK…
