What is BRICS? : BRICS is a coalition of five influential emerging economies Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa that are reshaping global dynamics.

These nations stand out for their large populations, rapidly growing economies, and increasing influence in world affairs.

BRICS promotes collaboration in trade, security, and development. The Origin of BRICS (Formerly BRIC):

In the 20th century, global governance was dominated by Western powers through institutions like the World Bank, IMF, and NATO, with limited representation from the developing world.

However, by the early 2000s, countries like China, India, Brazil, and Russia were emerging as economic powerhouses but lacked global influence.

In 2001, Jim O’Neill, a Goldman Sachs economist, coined the term BRIC in his report “Building Better Global Economic BRICs.” He predicted that these nations would outpace the G7 (Western economies) in economic growth, setting the stage for their global rise.

The name changed to BRICS in 2010 when South Africa joined the group.

Seeking justice, they went to Bharatpur Police Station to file a complaint. What followed was nothing short of a nightmare. When they arrived at the police station, it was practically deserted. A woman was sitting at the reception but wasn’t in uniform.

Around half an hour later, a police patrol vehicle arrived, and from that moment, things spiraled out of control.

On the night of August 8th, a 31-year-old female doctor diligently completed her duty, as she had done countless times before. After finishing her shift, she shared a quiet meal with her juniors at 2 AM. Exhausted from the long hours, she sought a moment of rest. With no designated room provided for doctors, she settled down to sleep in the seminar room, a makeshift refuge for those who work tirelessly through the night. Little did she know, this would be the last time she closed her eyes with a sense of routine comfort. On the morning of August 9th, Assistant Superintendent Dwaipayan Biswas informed the family that their beloved daughter had tragically died by suicide. When the grieving family arrived at the hospital, they were subjected to the indignity of waiting outside for three hours. Throughout this agonizing period, they were denied access to their daughter’s body, further compounding their heartbreak and distress.
