Jaishankar’s BRICS Realism: A Masterstroke, Not a Misstep

The deep state propaganda machine, The Wire, at it again (Jaishankar Has Blundered By Prematurely Showing India’s Hand on Currency Multipolarity)crying over Jaishankar’s blunt reality check on BRICS’ currency delusion. While they dream of a dollar-free utopia, India is playing smart, keeping options open, and refusing to bet on economic fan fiction. That’s strategy, not a ‘blunder’.

Jaishankar didn’t slip up when he shrugged off the BRICS currency hype—he played a smart hand while the idealists were still dreaming of a dollar-free paradise. Speaking in London recently, India’s External Affairs Minister made it clear: the US-led financial system isn’t going anywhere soon, and BRICS isn’t the united front some wish it to be. Far from a blunder, this was a calculated move, and it’s time we called it what it is—a masterstroke.

The naysayers—those hand-wringing types who love a good panic—want you to think Jaishankar’s realism is a betrayal of some grand multipolar vision. They’re wrong. India’s not here to play pretend with a BRICS currency that exists more in think-tank PowerPoints than in reality. Russia’s got its roubles, China’s got its yuan dreams, and India’s got better things to do than bet the farm on a shaky alliance’s economic fan fiction. Jaishankar knows the dollar’s still the heavyweight champ, and he’s not about to throw India into the ring with no gloves.

Let’s be real: currency multipolarity sounds sexy until you realize BRICS can’t even agree on a handshake, let alone a shared financial weapon to take on Trump’s America. Jaishankar’s not “showing India’s hand”—he’s refusing to play a losing game. While others clutch their gold bars and pray for a trade war miracle, he’s keeping India’s options open, balancing ties with the US without burning bridges elsewhere. That’s not a misstep; that’s diplomacy done right.

Critics whine that he should’ve kept quiet, played the mysterious sage. But why? The world’s not blind—India’s rise doesn’t hinge on pandering to anti-dollar crusaders. Jaishankar’s betting on stability over speculation, and in a global economy teetering on chaos, that’s the kind of leadership worth printing. Call it what you want, but it’s no blunder—it’s a win.
