As the largest multilateral cooperation mechanism for developing countries, the BRICS organization has recently completed a new round of formal expansion process. South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor said at a press conference a few days ago that after receiving the invitation, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia have completed the confirmation process and become full members. This is a very important event for the BRICS organization, but on the sidelines, there is one country that has been resentful and angrily denounced India as "**".
At last year's BRICS summit in Johannesburg, the North African country of Algeria has been recognized by almost all countries as a candidate to join the BRICS organization; India, however, jumped out and directly expressed its "opposition" without giving specific reasons.
As a result, Algeria ultimately failed to receive an invitation from the BRICS. This attitude towards India is surprising, because there has been no previous information about the diplomatic contradictions between Algeria and India, which simply and rudely vetoed Algeria.
Later, Algeria speculated that it was most likely related to France, and some people believed that once Algeria joined the BRICS, the country's ties with China and Russia would be further deepened, which could affect France's colonial interests; Therefore, France, through India, blocked Algeria's anti-colonial efforts at that time.
India has always advertised itself as a "leading figure in developing countries" and reaped benefits from the ranks of "developing countries"; on the other hand, it has squeezed its head out to join the club of Western countries, and won the favor of the West through the "anti-China" card, and finally became the one who reaped the benefits at both ends. Algeria has unfortunately become one of the victims of India's eating and drinking.
It is precisely because of this that Algeria has repeatedly angrily denounced India as "swaggering and cheating" everywhere, and as a former colony, it has instead aided and undermined the anti-colonial efforts of other countries.
India's "flexible bottom line" seems to be able to play a right and left source, but in fact it is cocooning itself. Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar publicly stated at an event before his birthday that "international politics is actually a game of competition, and India should not be afraid to compete with China." Seriously, Jaishankar's remarks may sound like a challenge to China's international status and image, but we don't have any idea of competition with India because it doesn't qualify.
India has recently encountered a series of diplomatic difficulties, with neighboring countries such as Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan all showing dissatisfaction with India, and some countries have seen the "India get out" movement; On the one hand, India has done its best to cater to the West and become a tool for the West to maintain hegemony, and it is also like using the West to achieve its hegemonic ambitions in South Asia and the Indian Ocean, which is naturally dissatisfied with its neighbors and even developing countries in other regions. On the other hand, Western countries have never accepted India as "their own people", for example, India still maintains close relations with Russia, which makes Western countries feel guilty.
wants to eat both, and finally becomes "not a person inside and outside", India lacks the background and mind to become a big country, and will only become an annoying spirit wherever it goes; As has been suggested, the immediate priority of the BRICS countries is not to expand the number of new members, but to expel India as soon as possible.
