Short Summary: India has rejected Turkey's BRICS membership bid, citing the latter's close relationship with Pakistan. The bid fell through as no consensus was reached among members, and the group decided not to accept new members in the near future.
It's not in Turkey's interests to join BRICS. If this news is true than India did us a great favor

Thanks India.

Exactly. Some here keep forgetting Turkey is a full member of NATO.

Having both NATO and BRICS membership is a bit odd - n'est ce pas?

By the way - not that it is relevant any more, but India also rejected the Bangladesh bid, when Hasina was at the helm and was a "friend of India".


In August 2023 - More than 40 countries had expressed interest in joining BRICS, of them 23 formally applied to join the bloc, which together account for about a quarter of the global economy and 41.9% of the world’s population.

Make your own conclusions.

There are other countries involved in BRICS besides India, which we should also remember for this discussion. Although some say India's influence in BRICS is on the wane.

Agree with you. I have two close Turk friends. They work here. Turkish company. They love India and Indians. And always find a way to get posted back here somehow even when called back briefly.
I have seen many videos where any foreigner got an opportunity to visit India on any deputation. They explain their experience with a lots of interest and reiterate their willingness to visit India again.

Do you know that their in an increasing interest in Europeans, Russians, Chinese and Americans to marry an Indian partner.

No I did not know that.

Interracial breeding is not my thing. Though I'm sure it works for many.
 
You cannot be "allied" with Pakistan and friends with India.
I'm not as pessimistic as you, I believe it is possible to be on good terms with both countries.
But aside from being a non European NATO hedge, does Europe really want you. Why are you not in the EU? Yet.
There are many cultural, economical, strategic reasons for Europeans to reject Turkey's EU membership. It's a complicated subject.

If Turkey had a population of 10 million like Greece instead of 80 million, a membership would be much more likely. With the flood of 13 million refugees and immigrants, Turkey's membership chances are completely dead.

Is there any Muslim EU state?

This is pragmatism. Not pessimism.
