The genesis of BRIC (Brazil-Russia-India-China, predecessor of present-day BRICS) as a multilateral grouping of the four developing or emerging economies can be traced back to September 2006, with the 61st Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, in a bid to explore measures of economic and political cooperation among the member-States. Officially, the organization came into existence in 2009, and with the inclusion of South Africa as the fifth member in April 2011, BRIC was re-christened BRICS. Till date, the BRICS member-states have held seven Summits and the latest in Ufa, Russia (July 2015) has been a watershed with the entry into force of the New Development Bank/BRICS Bank and the Contingent Reserves Arrangement. The BRICS Bank is heralded as an alternative to the World Bank-International Monetary Fund-led international economic architecture. However, it remains to be testified whether the BRICS Bank can evolve as a pulsating alternative to the WB-IMF-led financial system, though there is no way denying its establishment as a stepping stone for providing a predominantly South-South economic cooperative mechanism.

| Summary/Abstract |
The South China Sea dispute which has spilled over from the twentieth to the twenty-first century, is yet to find an amicable solution. The root cause of this tension is the dispute among the various claimants as regards the procurement of energy resources and securing territorial legitimacy. The entry of the US into the picture has further complicated the problem. In order to evolve a congenial regional environment, the disputing countries must evolve a collaborative outlook, not confrontationist, and adopt a regional perspective rather than proceed from their national interest only and take recourse to multilateral mechanisms as a means to reduce tension in the region. If the prognosis that the '21st century is the century of Asia' is to be made a reality, then the economic prosperity and development of the Asian region will be essential, for which, all the disputing countries should change their mindset from local to global level and keep the South China Sea region as less tension-prone as possible.

Narendra Nath Bhattacharya (1887) and in later years known as Manabendra Nath Roy (M.N. Roy) adorns a remarkable place in the history of Indian philosophy of the twentieth century. He was a versatile scholar, a linguist, a born revolutionary, a subtle theorist, a penetrating intellectual, an uncompromising rationalist and an original thinker. Unlike the other Indian political thinkers of India, Roy has made a clear distinction between philosophy and religion in his thought. Roy's intellectual odyssey took him from militant Hindu nationalism to communism and there from to emerging as a humanist and radical democrat.

Subhas Chandra Bose remains a leading personality who has symbolized himself as a leading freedom fighter, a true guide, and a devoted friend of the Indian masses and the world. As one of the chief architects of the Indian freedom movement, he awakened the country’s masses from the slavish siesta of self-degradation and stimulated their sense of its cultural, historical, and national glory. Throughout his political career, India’s liberation from British rule remained Subhas Chandra Bose’s foremost political goal, and his idea of nationalism is not only a political movement but an ethical one as well. This article will highlight the major rationale behind Subhas Chandra Bose’s contribution to promulgating the ideas of nationalism in the minds of the Indian masses.

Having discussed the current trends of Modi’s foreign policy it is clear that P.M. Modi may not be comfortable with Pakistan on account of his first tenure experience and thus his shift towards
the other neighbouring countries of BIMSTEC members through his ‘Act East’ and Neighbourhood First policy. The decision of the Indian government to invite members of BIMSTEC to the Prime Minister’s oath-taking ceremony turned out to be a great initiative. This was a realistic plan on the part of the Modi government to encourage South Asian participation in regional cooperation with all countries of BIMSTEC.

Mahatma Gandhi held a distinctive place in the history of Indian freedom movement as well as in the
momentous evolution from tradition to modernity. During the time-period ranging from l9l6 to 1947,
Gandhi had revealed his luminous dexterity and methods which made him the vanguard of the nation,
by the relentless logic of history. He was an iconoclast. Who quivered the basics of the powerful British Empire in India through multiple novel means such as non- violent, satyagraha, . Fasting, hartals, non'-cooperation and mass civil disobedience. Gandhi was a multifaceted virtuoso who applied his mind to glitches of human distress. His social ideas amply exhibited a deep and abiding consciousness of the fundamental reformation of the Indian society. In the economic sphere, he ardently believed that the economic salvation of India exclusively depended on the economic regeneration of vast millions of Indians living in the rural areas. ln line with such a policy. he championed the promotion of small scale village and cottage industries, which could offer productive employment on a long-term basis to the common masses of India. At the political level, Gandhi felt that the state was a means of intimidation, since it was likely to demoralize the cherished essential freedom of individuals. As an individualist, Gandhi judged that individuals could enhance their traits through truth and non-violence, drenched with an ambience of freedom.

“My visit to Vietnam is to nurture a relationship between our two societies and nations. The linkages between our two countries have deep historical and civilizational roots, going back over two thousand years. These cultural bonds reflect themselves in many ways, most prominently, the connection between Buddhism and the monuments of the Hindu Cham civilization. In recent decades, our shared and strong desire for the progress and prosperity of our peoples has shaped our ties. In India, we believe in sharing our knowledge, experiences and expertise with other developing countries. There can be no better example of this than in the success of our multifaceted bilateral cooperation with Vietnam over the last four decades,” this was the speech delivered by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Vietnam on 3 September, 2016. In the same speech, he further said: “As two partners, we must also take advantage of our synergies to jointly face emerging regional challenges, and to exploit new opportunities.
