Nations arise and fall, civilizations ascend and decline, individuals outshine others and degenerate into obscurity and shame have all three common causes of sowing the seed of destruction or deficiency in decision making.
Three quotations fundamentally summarize the down fall of society both individually and together as a organization.
1 “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ”
― Alvin Toffler (4 Oct 1928- 27 June 2016)
2.He who will not reason, is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not is a slave.
Sir William Drummond (26 Sept 1769-29 March 1828)
3. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached.
Simone Weil (3 February 1909 - 24 August 1943)
Ask ourselves whether it is Hezbollah or hamas or USA as a nation committed any of the above blunder?
A timely critique of the West's attitudes and insecurity triggered by BRICS.
What China has achievd without bloodshed (unless of course one wishes to make reference to China's lawful suppression of the US sponsored and financed rebellion the West refers to as the Tin An Mein square incident) in over 45 years is unprecedented an achievement in human history.
India's attempts to 'equal' China's progress and development in economic, scientific, social and military terms, unfortunately, although impressive, is unsustainable for reasons that are inherently Indian.
The caste system and the inequality it breeds is but one of these. Religion and the bigoted divisions it spawns are the second of two of the major obstacles for India when it is dealing with its China focused envy, the main driver for its advances and attempts at overtaking China over the past 15 years.
Putting that to one side, what BRICS had achieved in bringing the two Asian giants to the table to try to resolve their seemingly intractable differences over the border is no small fete.
However India remains the 'man in the middle' that the West and Japan will use to destablize and divide BRICS unless of course the Indian goverenment at the centre, the BJP, broadens its perspectives on the world and especially on China.
India is a dangerous (for India and for BRICS) lever the West has been cultivating and likely to use to destabilize and divide not just BRICS but also China which is the main thorn in the side of the West. It has leveraged the differences and the distrust between the West, China and Russia to its benefit in many areas, especially in trade and in 'containing China'.

Well elucidated Mr Lim.
BRICS Plus is here to stay, grow and expand for a better and bigger new world order.

BRICS has still a long way to go as has India.
