Think BRICS explores the latest BRICS summit news from New Delhi in this in-depth interview with Rajoli Siddharth Jayaprakash, fellow at the Observer Research Foundation. The conversation focuses on India, BRICS, and the deeper geopolitics shaping the Global South, with a particular focus on India's move toward a more independent role in the emerging world order.

Why does India prioritize strategic autonomy at the New Delhi Summit? How does this shape Indian foreign policy, India BRICS strategy, and the country’s position in the wider debate over India vs West? Host Lorenzo examines these questions with Siddharth, looking at India-Russia relations, non-alignment, diplomacy, and the idea of a strategic partnership in a rapidly changing global landscape.

The discussion also looks at BRICS expansion, de-dollarization, geopolitical strategy, and the growing relevance of multipolarity. As western dominance is increasingly challenged, what does the future of BRICS mean for international relations and the broader global power shift? This episode offers a clear view of how India, BRICS, and the New Delhi summit fit into the evolving politics of the Global South.
