GS-II (International Relations – Groupings): Despite consensus at the New Delhi summit, BRICS faces internal tensions and imbalances as its membership expands with differing priorities. India, as chair, must balance its strategic autonomy with the grouping's cohesion. Way forward: sharpen a common agenda, strengthen institutions such as the NDB, and focus on Global South development issues.
