TIL: India's geopolitical strategy of "one foot in BRICS, one foot in the West" goes back to Nehru, India's first Prime Minister after independence in 1947.

His vision for India was one of studied neutrality between East and West - leveraging the historical trading links between China, Iran and Russia on the one hand, while benefitting from India's colonial links with Europe.

The subplot in our current shitshow is the slow pajeetification of all Western jobs, industries & areas of influence.
