serif;\">Recently, during the <strong>15th BRICS summit<\/strong> held in Johannesburg, a noteworthy development emerged as the existing <strong>BRICS group,<\/strong> composed of <strong>Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa<\/strong>, expanded its membership by extending invitations to six additional nations. These newly invited countries encompass Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the <strong>United Arab Emirates (UAE)<\/strong> from West Asia, Egypt and Ethiopia from Africa, and Argentina from Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>BRICS<\/strong> is fundamentally reshaping the landscape of international relations through its advocacy for multipolarity, assertion of strategic autonomy, and cultivation of economic collaboration within its diverse member states. In the face of criticisms from Western analysts, <strong>BRICS<\/strong> is forging a distinctive trajectory in global politics, rendering its recent summit a pivotal juncture in contemporary history.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Objectives_of_BRICS\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Objectives of BRICS<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Rejection of Emerging Global Binary Divide<\/strong>: India and its <strong>BRICS<\/strong> counterparts firmly oppose the notion of a looming global binary divide, which envisions a world characterized by two opposing and predominant powers, often drawing parallels to a new <strong>Cold War<\/strong>. They find this perspective lacking in foresight and do not align with it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Assertion of Strategic Autonomy<\/strong>: <strong>BRICS<\/strong> member nations, including India, are underlining their commitment to asserting their strategic autonomy. This entails a strong desire to formulate independent decisions and policies on the international stage, rather than aligning themselves with any specific superpower or bloc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Multipolar World Order<\/strong>: <strong>BRICS<\/strong> nations are actively promoting the concept of a multipolar world order. Their vision encompasses a global landscape where power and influence are dispersed among several significant actors, rather than being centralized within the control of a select few dominant countries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Demand for Voice and Respect for Interests<\/strong>: <strong>BRICS<\/strong> member states are advocating for their voices to be not only heard but also respected in international affairs. This indicates a clear aspiration for a more equitable and inclusive system of global governance that takes into consideration the concerns and interests of emerging.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Views_of_BRICS_Towards_West-led_Organisations\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Views of BRICS Towards West-led Organisations<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Unequal Voting Power<\/strong>: A significant issue that deeply concerns BRICS nations pertains to the imbalanced allocation of voting power within entities such as the <strong>International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.<\/strong> These organizations grant greater influence to Western nations, particularly the <strong>United States and European countries,<\/strong> primarily based on their financial contributions.<strong> BRICS member<\/strong> countries contend that this disparity severely hampers their capacity to influence policies and participate in decision-making processes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Lack of Representation<\/strong>: <strong>BRICS nations<\/strong> have consistently voiced their contention that the leadership and decision-making structures of these institutions fall short in adequately representing the diverse landscape of the global economy. They advocate for these organizations to more accurately mirror the economic significance and contributions of emerging economies like their own.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Criticisms_Against_BRICS\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Criticisms Against BRICS<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Lack of Shared Vision:<\/strong> BRICS has faced criticism from Western observers who point out a perceived absence of a clear and unified shared vision among its five member nations. This suggests the possibility that these countries may not present a coordinated and consistent approach to global issues or may not be actively pursuing common objectives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Being a &#8220;Talk-Shop&#8221;:<\/strong> Detractors often label <strong>BRICS<\/strong> as primarily a platform for discussion and dialogue rather than an organization that translates deliberations into concrete actions or achieves substantial outcomes. In essence, it is portrayed as a space where leaders from these nations engage in conversations but struggle to generate tangible results or practical solutions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>No Worthwhile Achievements<\/strong>: Critics argue that <strong>BRICS<\/strong> has yet to produce any noteworthy or significant accomplishments that would substantiate its existence as a cohesive bloc. They may contend that the group&#8217;s endeavours have not left a substantial mark on global affairs or have fallen short in effectively addressing critical challenges.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Challenge_of_BRICS_to_West-led_World_Order\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\u00a0Challenge of BRICS\u00a0 to West-led World Order<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Ongoing and Comprehensive Nature of BRICS Interactions:<\/strong> <strong>BRICS member<\/strong> nations have maintained an annual tradition of summit meetings since 2009. Furthermore, the <strong>BRICS<\/strong> framework is reinforced by various ministerial and expert gatherings, indicating that it serves as more than just a periodic summit; it constitutes a platform for sustained and continuous engagement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Alternative Institutions: <\/strong>In response to their discontent with Western-dominated institutions, BRICS nations have taken steps to establish alternative financial organizations. The most prominent instance is the formation of the <strong>New Development Bank (NDB)<\/strong>, also known as the <strong>BRICS Bank<\/strong>, and the <strong>Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA)<\/strong>. The <strong>NDB&#8217;s<\/strong> primary goal is to provide financial support for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in member countries and other emerging economies. This initiative is perceived as a means to reduce reliance on Western institutions. The <strong>CRA,<\/strong> on the other hand, is designed to assist member countries facing short-term balance-of-payments pressures.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Use of Local Currencies<\/strong>: <strong>BRICS member nations<\/strong> have reached a consensus to promote the use of their local currencies in internal trade and financial transactions, both among themselves and with other trading partners. This reflects their desire to decrease dependence on major global currencies like the US dollar and to encourage the utilization of their own currencies in international dealings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Advocacy for Reform: BRICS countries<\/strong> are actively advocating for substantial reforms in the current international order. They are pushing for a more equitable and inclusive global system that takes into account the interests and perspectives of emerging economies. This reform agenda encompasses calls for alterations in international financial institutions and global governance structures.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Increased Economic Influence:<\/strong> The <strong>BRICS<\/strong> coalition collectively wields substantial economic clout. The expansion of <strong>BRICS membership<\/strong> has further amplified its influence. The group represents a significant segment of the world&#8217;s population, <strong>Gross Domestic Product (GDP)<\/strong>, global trade, and energy production.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Impact on the Energy Sector:<\/strong> The passage underscores the profound effect of BRICS expansion on the energy sector. With the addition of new member countries, <strong>BRICS<\/strong> nations jointly produce a substantial portion of the world&#8217;s oil, elevating them to a pivotal role in global energy markets. This underscores their potential to shape energy policies and influence energy markets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The expansion of the <strong>BRICS group<\/strong> has brought considerable geo-strategic value to the grouping. The <strong>BRICS<\/strong> through its current summit has asserted that their <strong>&#8220;strategic partnership&#8221;<\/strong> will be directed at achieving <strong>&#8220;a more representative, fairer international order&#8221;. <\/strong>The recent expansion of <strong>BRICS&#8217;s membership<\/strong> has shaped a grouping that is aligned in terms of global perceptions and interests and collectively provides considerable economic clout to the enlarged conclave. The group&#8217;s efforts to assert their strategic autonomy in a multipolar world order have been described as a <strong>&#8220;turning point in modern history&#8221;.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sample_Question_for_UPSC_Sociology_Optional_Paper\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Sample Question for UPSC Sociology Optional Paper:<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Question 1<\/strong>: <strong>What is the impact of globalization on social stratification?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Answer<\/strong>: Globalization has both exacerbated and mitigated social stratification by making resources and opportunities available across borders, while also intensifying competition and inequality among different social groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Question 2<\/strong>: <strong>How does religion influence social norms?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Answer<\/strong>: Religion often serves as a foundational element in shaping social norms, providing a framework for what is considered moral or immoral behavior in a given society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Question 3<\/strong>: <strong>Explain the concept of social capital.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Answer<\/strong>: Social capital refers to the networks and relationships among individuals within a community that enable mutual trust and cooperation, thereby facilitating collective action and societal well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Question 4<\/strong>: <strong>How does education contribute to social mobility?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Answer<\/strong>: Education equips individuals with skills and knowledge that enhance employability and earning potential, thereby serving as a key factor in upward social mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Question 5<\/strong>: <strong>What is the role of media in shaping public opinion?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Answer<\/strong>: Media plays a crucial role in influencing public opinion by framing issues, setting agendas, and providing a platform for public discourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XKn1NOUcj1o\" width=\"350\" height=\"196\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OM6Ca_jWD5I\" width=\"350\" height=\"196\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">To master these intricacies and fare well in the <strong>Sociology Optional Syllabus<\/strong>, aspiring sociologists might benefit from guidance by the <strong>Best Sociology Optional Teacher<\/strong> and participation in the <strong>Best Sociology Optional Coaching<\/strong>.
