Journalist LN Bhaskar analyzes the shifting global power landscape, arguing that Western influence is steadily diminishing. He highlights the strengthening strategic convergence between India, Russia, and China, suggesting that the combined capabilities of the three nations could outweigh Western dominance. According to Bhaskar, India brings the skilled labour force, while China has the financial capacity to fund extraction of Russia’s rare earth minerals — creating an economic trio with massive potential. He also stresses that the India-Russia partnership has remained resilient over decades and continues to deepen.
