Shaping the BRICS Agenda for Tomorrow: A Perspective from India

A group set up initially to voice the concerns of some of the fastest-growing economies in the world – BRICS has undergone a metamorphosis over the years. Set up by developing countries clocking high economic growth rates, the forum meant to give a voice to these countries has not been able to make the dent it thought it would. With only India and China achieving remarkable economic growth compared to some of the other peers, the group has found it tough to assert itself on the global stage.
