India’s 2026 BRICS Presidency is guided by the theme “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.” But why does BRICS matter to India? Is BRICS really an anti-West grouping? Can BRICS challenge the G7 and the US-led global order? What does BRICS expansion mean for India? And can BRICS actually reduce dependence on the US dollar? In this video, Chethan N explains BRICS from both the UPSC Prelims and Mains perspective, covering the evolution of BRICS, its expansion, BRICS vs G7, India’s strategic autonomy, Global South, de-dollarisation, New Development Bank, BRICS financial initiatives, Indo-Pacific geopolitics and the importance of maritime chokepoints. The discussion also examines India’s relations with Russia, China, Iran, UAE and Saudi Arabia, the challenges within the expanded BRICS grouping and what India can potentially achieve as BRICS Chair in 2026. BRICS currently comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, representing around 49.5% of the global population, 40% of global GDP and 26% of global trade.
