There is sharp increase of “India bad” news currently. Few years ago during their worst crackdown on Kashmir, western media completely ignored that, because US were using India against China. Even few months ago Biden went to India and explicitly told Modi US won’t talk about any Indian atrocities. But now India refused to get on board of US sanctions and warmongering, so are they being ditched? Maybe even consent is being manufactured for some sort of imperialist aggression, especially that Russia plan failed and China look more and more impossible?

      India is playing both sides. Besides, BRICS is more about economic cooperation than military. India will not join any anti-Russia alliance like NATO Plus but will happily join anti-China alliance like QUAD.

      And yes there have been economic disagreements between India and China as well. Look at how the recent SCO meeting went.
