India
is a big stumbling block, a major disrupter, seeking to weaken groups
like SCO and BRICS from the inside. The South Asian country exhibits a
combative and competitive attitude towards China throughout its
year-long rotating SCO presidency period.
During India’s hosting
of the SCO Defence Ministers’ Meeting and Foreign Ministers’ meeting in
earlier months: 1) Indian ministers refused to shake hands with their
Chinese counterparts, 2) India purposely put China at non-central
position in the group photographs -- something that rarely happened in
earlier SCO meetings, 3) India challenged the Chinese and Russian
privileges in the SCO in terms of language and demanded the inclusion of
English as one of its official languages so as to increase its
influence within the grouping.
Even at the final summit, India
created a big fuss, openly contradicting China and preventing the summit
from making important achievements. It refused to sign the ‘SCO
Economic Development Strategy 2030’, neither did it endorse the Belt and
Road Initiative, thereby preventing a clear SCO consensus on these
issues.
Not just in SCO, India is confronting China in the BRICS
grouping as well, where it has been delaying the process of expansion,
by pressing for clear criteria for the expansion process, as against the
Chinese stance of expanding the grouping based on recommendations of
existing members.

India is in it to have it's voice heard & reap the benefits. But as usual, thngs shoukd be done only the Indian way & zero compromise for win-win. The big Indian ego gets in the way of progress.
Time for the SCO & BRICS to rethink Indian continue participation.

India's Rupee Wet Dream
Amid speculation of a new BRICS currency at the upcoming BRICS Summit in August, India's external affairs minister S. Jaishankar made a big declaration that there are no plans for a new BRICS currency amid the ongoing de-dollarization push. Instead, the focus is on strengthening India's national currency.
Jaishankar said India wants the rupee to get stronger amid "de-dollarization," reflecting the mental masturbation of the Indians fantasizing that the rupee could replace the greenback as the world's reserve and preferred trade currency, and India can then enjoy the concommitant exorbitant privileges of an international reserve currency - ie unlimitedly printing rupees and there would always be endless demand for their currency.
The Indians are working hard to achieve their sordid dream - after India last week signed an agreement with the United Arab Emirates that will allow it to settle trade in rupees instead of dollars, it is now in discussion with Indonesia to use the rupee in bilateral trade.
India not in RCEP does mean India will not sabotage RCEP. If SCO were to leverage on RCEP for the progress of the group, India will say no, because RCEP is a China idea. Wanna bet?
India on Tenterhooks as China Builds Mega Hydropower Dam Near LAC
China is building the world’s first super dam on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) heavily militarized frontier with India. This megaproject, with a planned capacity of 60 gigawatts, would generate three times as much electricity as the Three Gorges Dam, currently the world’s largest hydropower plant.
Based on the 1968 Helsinki Rules and the 1997 UN Convention on Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses, a lower riparian cannot veto interventions in a river by the upper riparian.
Originating on the Angsi Glacier near Mount Kailash in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), the 3,969-kilometer Yarlung Zangbo flows into India, the lower riparian in this case, as the Brahmaputra. After the 2017 Doklam border standoff, the Chinese abruptly stopped communicating water flow levels with the Indians, no longer mindful of India’s concerns. Indian strategic analyst Brahma Chellaney fretted in an opinion piece on asia.nikkei July 14 that China can't just keep building the world's biggest dam in secret, lamenting the mute international reaction.
The Indians are very worried that China won't alert downstream India in case of disastrously massive flow rate during the monsoon season, or may divert the river towards the north to mitigate water scarcity in some parts of the country. For the latter, the implication for India would be a horrendous reduction of water flow to India's northern regions, Indian strategic analyst Basu Sharma has noted.
Chellaney says grimly that China will in due course be able to leverage transboundary flows in its relations with rival India, threatening the South Asian country with far-reaching strategic, environmental and inter-riparian implications of the largest dam ever conceived. In other words, India is screwed.
The tectonic movements of the Indian plate for hundred millions of year have been pushing on Eurasian plates. It is like a wedge penetratively separate Europe and Asia. It is a role, assigned by mother earth to cause troubles for human beings. It is not coincident that India got the largest population favoured by mother earth. Nations should becareful preferably stay far away from India.
Singaporean or foreigner NMP, this report abit confusing . . .
Three Indian-origin Singaporeans among 9 new nominated members of Singapore Parliament - THE WEEK, July 18
https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2023/07/18/three-indian-origin-singaporeans-among-9-new-nominated-members-of-singapore-parliament.html
Neil Parekh Nimil Rajnikant, hailing from Gujarat, has been nominated as MP in the Singapore Parliament.
Nimil, 60, chairman of the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and a council member of the Singapore Business Federation, is among the three Indian-origin Singaporeans nominated as MPs.
The other two are Chandradas Usha Ranee, co-founder of Plural Art Magazine and course coordinator at the Nanyang Business School, and lawyer Raj Joshua Thomas.
According to media reports, a total of nine MPs were selected by a special select committee of the Parliament. The Committee is headed by then Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin. They would serve a tenure of two-and-half years and they will be sworn in next month.
A total of 30 names were put for consideration out of which nine were selected, including those of Indian origin.
Sunil Parekh, Neil’s elder brother and industry veteran, told THE WEEK, “NMP is a very prestigious position and it is one of the highest in the world, and for a foreigner to be given this recognition, really means a lot.”
Need more Indian MPs to take over Parliament, follow by an Indian PM.
