Why Pakistan Must Never Be Allowed to Join BRICS: India\'s Stance
Pakistan\'s ambition to join the BRICS alliance faces significant hurdles, primarily due to strong opposition from India. On 20 de sept. de 2025, the geopolitical landscape remains tense, and the prospect of Pakistan within BRICS raises serious concerns.
Recent developments highlight the roadblocks Pakistan faces. Its attempt to join BRICS hit a snag when it was not named as a partner country in the group’s expansion. India\'s opposition is widely considered a major factor in this outcome.
Three Key Reasons for India\'s Opposition to Pakistan Joining BRICS
A senior government official from India has stated unequivocally that "Pakistan should never be allowed to join the BRICS alliance as they bring nothing to the table." This stance is underpinned by several critical concerns:
- Economic Instability: Pakistan\'s current economic situation presents a risk to the financial stability of the BRICS nations.
- Geopolitical Tensions: The ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan could destabilize the BRICS alliance and hinder its ability to function effectively.
- Lack of Strategic Value: Pakistan\'s contribution to the core objectives of BRICS, particularly its role in challenging the G7, is questionable. The first is concerns on finance, specifically BRICS\'s direct challenge to the G7 in terms of economic influence.
Expert Perspectives on Pakistan and BRICS
Experts like Prof. Rajan Kumar of JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) argue that India should firmly oppose Pakistan’s entry unless clear membership rules are established and meticulously followed. This cautious approach reflects a broader concern about maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the BRICS alliance. Independent political analyst Dr. Aparaajita echoes these sentiments, emphasizing the need for BRICS to prioritize stability and shared strategic goals above all else.
Ultimately, the question of Pakistan\'s inclusion in BRICS hinges on its ability to address these fundamental concerns and demonstrate a clear commitment to the principles and objectives of the alliance. Until then, India\'s opposition remains a formidable obstacle.
