Abstract

One of the founding members of BRICS, the acronym coined to denote Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, India finds itself in a quandary of sorts not only because it also is a member of QUAD (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue) along with Australia, USA and Japan, formed primarily to contain China or because it also attends meetings of US and western economic associations but owing to the Russia’s invasion, which Russia calls special military operation, of Ukraine as a result o which the US and the European nations have slapped sweeping sanctions on Russia. India’s external affairs minister S. Jaishankar said that India did not have to join either US axis or China axis. India may find it difficult if not impossible to wean itself away from Russia fearing that it may result in losing its leverage with China. At the same time too much proximity with Russia may not be liked by the western powers. This research paper will try to analyse the challenges faced by India in its balancing act and its sustainability.
