Current Affairs 07 July 2025
BRICS Summit
- Addressing the 17th Brics Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly advocated for comprehensive reforms in global governance structures, emphasising the need to better represent the Global South in 21st-century decision-making. “Two-thirds of humanity has not been adequately represented in the global institutions formed in the 20th century. Countries that have a major contribution to today’s global economy have not been given a place at the decision-making table. This is not just a question of representation but also a question of credibility and effectiveness. Without the Global South, these institutions seem like a mobile with a SIM card but no network,” he said.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi today participated in the Outreach Session on ‘Strengthening Multilateralism, Economic-Financial Affairs and Artificial Intelligence’, along with BRICS members, partners and outreach invitees, at the 17th BRICS Summit. In his address, Mr Modi emphasised BRICS as a catalyst for global cooperation and a multipolar world. He urged demand demand-driven approach and long-term financial sustainability in NDB-led projects. The Prime Minister highlighted India’s initiatives in agri-biotech, digital education access, and called for a BRICS Science and Research Repository. On AI, he stressed responsible governance and invited the BRICS partners to the “AI Impact Summit” that India will be hosting next year.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a strong pitch for a world order that is multipolar and inclusive. Making an intervention during the first session of the BRICS Summit that began in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, the Prime Minister stressed that this has to start with comprehensive reforms in global institutions. He said such measures should not merely be symbolic but their real impact should be visible. He advocated for change in governance structures, voting rights and leadership positions. He also urged for higher priority for the global south in policy making. Making his views clear, the Prime Minister noted that the global south often faces double standards about development, distribution of resources, and security related matters.
- He further said that the interests of the global south are not given due importance. These countries in the global south receive nothing more than token gestures on topics like climate finance, sustainable development and technology access. Hence the Prime Minister said that these institutions have failed to offer effective solutions during the ongoing conflicts across the world, during the pandemic and economic crisis and during the emerging challenges in cyber and space.
- Mr Modi asked for a determination to reform institutions like the UN security Council, the WTO and Multilateral Development Bank. He made it clear that 21st Century software cannot run on 20th Century typewriters.

He was a great patriot, educationist, parliamentarian, statesman, humanitarian and above all, a campaigner for national unity and integrity.
- In 1934, Syama Prasad became the youngest Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University, which gave him the opportunity to put his aims and ideals regarding education of his people in practice.
- It was under his Vice-Chancellorship that Rabindra Nath Tagore delivered his convocation address in Bengali which marked the beginning of the end of the era of English superiority over Bengali and other Indian languages. Syama Prasad concentrated his energies on creating a political platform through which the ideology and policies he stood for could be projected.

- It added that the Biobank captures the country’s unique diversity-across geography, ethnicity, and socio-economic backgrounds.

World’s Most Equal Societies
- World Bank has placed India among world’s Most Equal Societies. According to the World Bank, India’s Gini Index stands at 25.5, making it the fourth most equal country in the world, after the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Belarus.
- The Gini Index is a simple yet powerful way to understand how income, wealth or consumption is equally distributed across households or individuals in a country. India falls into the “moderately low” inequality category, which includes Gini scores between 25 and 30. India is only a fraction away from joining the “low inequality” group, which includes countries like the Slovak Republic with a score of 24.1, Slovenia at 24.3, and Belarus at 24.4. Apart from these three, India has a better score than all the other 167 countries for which the World Bank has released data.
- India’s score is much lower than China’s 35.7 and far lower than the United States, which stands at 41.8. India’s journey towards a more equal society is reflected in its Gini Index over the years. The index was measured at 28.8 in 2011, and reached 25.5 in 2022. This steady shift shows that India has made consistent progress in combining economic growth with social equity.
