As I said before the vidhwavilaap earlier was Modi must resign if there is no consensus statement at G20. Now that we have one, the randi ronaa from Britshit newspapers is that it happened because the bar was too low.

Shameless…

Chetak, saar, Taj Mahal needs to be renamed as Tejo Mahalaya, similar to how India became bharat. There is too many evidences that gives away the structure, the 4 mini-minars are not standard fare .. the blue mosque in instanbul (also 4 minars) was formerly a church and prior to that a hindu structure.

bala saar,

Right on

BTW, it's not even oriented in the direction of their holy city and it's definitely not theirs

why would anyone build such a grandiose structure and not even take care of the basic and fundamental requirement of such structures by failing to point it in the right direction

With the election of a right-wing Prez, Argentine seems to prefer not to join the BRICS. This Prez favors the US dollar.

Good riddance. Argentina really does not have anything to offer and never really had anything to offer. In terms of defaults and IMF handouts, the country competes with Pakistan, Zimbabwe etc. Javier Milei is another puppet who will turn the keys of Argentinian treasury to foreigners. Economist by trade and zero experience in governance. Just like many central American countries where effective currency usage is USD, Argentina heading the same way. Good that they are not part of BRICS.

Dollarization for Argentina?

Well, India and China opposed Argentina based on your (^^^^^) arguments. Brazil insisted and now has egg all over her face.

It will be interesting to see how anti-BRICS spin this.

However, this incident will now force a more strict entrance procedure. Good.

Every setback will be a lesson. BRICS lose nothing if they join or do not join. One can be very sure when the US finish with it they will come back and beg to join.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have confirmed they are joining the BRICS bloc after being invited last year, South Africa's Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor said on Wednesday.

With respect to the BRICS confirmations, five out of the six have confirmed. That is Saudi Arabia, UAE, Ethiopia, Iran ... and Egypt," Pandor told a news conference on Wednesday.

"Argentina has written to indicate that they will not act on this successful application by the previous administration to become full members of BRICS, and we accept their decision."

Argentina has junked it's own currency and adopted the USD and even closed it's central bank iirc. The new president Mellei is doing quite an experiment - not compatible with brics agenda, so its good they chose to stay out

BRICS is increasing becoming Chinese organisations.
SA are getting quite vociferous and egged on by the Chinese.
They have recently riled aginst Isreal.
Not long before Unkil and We find similar mentions by the SA.
Indians have colonial connotations to the native SA given earlier British and Aparteid regime labelling Indians as coloured and above the native blacks.
Plus they have had the grouse of Indian controlling the econimic interests far beyond their polulation numbers.
SA and other munnas like Iran, Ethiopia will be used by Chinese.
And if they allow Pakistanis, Turkey, Beedis etc it will be Chinese checkers!!

The Apartheid regime in SA labelled Indians as Indians. The Coloureds were white/black or white/malay (especially in Cape Town) or sometimes all three. Indians were relatively late on the scene in S. Africa having being brought in to work (as indentured labourers) on the sugar plantations of Natal. A few came over and became involved in retail. The Zulu natives in Natal were too proud to work as labourers on the European sugar plantations being primarily herdsmen. There were states, such as Orange Free State (under apartheid), where Indians were prohibited from living.

Indians dominate the economy of SA, and wield a great deal of influence in politics. It would be tough for China to convince them to go against India
