While I largely agree with your assessment. I still think it’s better to have India in BRICS because that’s already creating tensions with the west. India’s economic interests will ultimately drive the policy in the long run. I think it’s entirely possible that India will also have positive political change in the future. BJP is already losing popularity, they didn’t do nearly as well in the last election, and the trend is likely to continue. Meanwhile, communists are doing well in Kerala and becoming more and more popular.

I will be honest, the chances of the communist party becoming even remotely nationally relevant in the next 10 years is 0. Kerala has been communist since forever and infact this election is the first time the right wing fascist party was able to get a seat in kerala banking of anti incumbency. Agree on the BJP’s declining popularity but worryingly through the south which has been the bastion against BJP so far is slowly starting to become more radicalised and BJP is starting to win here while they lose their grip on the north. And also, while it’s true that there’s a large anti china sentiment unless the current govt. decides to do something so as to retain power, India had a consistent policy of maintining multi polaritym, that shouldn’t be a problem.

More and more popular as in potentially spreading to other states?
Communists parties already have significant support in a number of other states, so hopefully the support keeps growing.
Congress is gonna be a disaster too, it’s run by a literal white woman
the memes alone would spark political instability
lol yeah
The Congress hasn’t been run by Sonia Ghandi for over two years at this point. She stepped down in 2022.
