Russia-India-China trilateral: Game-changer in global politics
The evolving trilateral Russia-India-China (RIC) format—with more alignment, more coordination—could have a "huge impact on global affairs," Robinder Sachdev, geopolitical analyst as well as founder and president of The Imagindia Institute, told Sputnik.
Counterweight to Western dominance
Indian PM Narendra Modi is expected to meet Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the SCO summit. Sachdev explains:
Russia & China: World's natural resource base
India & China: Core of global human capital and tech innovation
Together: They command the world's factory, oil, and AI talent
Dr. Raj Kumar Sharma, senior research fellow at the New Delhi-based NatStrat think tank, voiced hope that the synergy of the RIC format would play out in BRICS and the SCO.
It would offer a Eurasian platform that “opposes any kind of hegemony in global politics.”
US tariffs fuel global recalibration
The US put tariffs on India, but this plan backfired. Instead of hurting India, it actually made them build new alliances faster.
“It has forced India to think more in terms of the world matrix, and how we calibrate our relations with others,” Dr. Sachdev said.
