To that end &#8220;countries of the Global South must build alternative financial, military, and other interconnections and alliances,&#8221; he stresses.  &#8220;Countries that build multiple partnerships are better placed to defend their interests and preserve autonomy.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article__h2\" id=\"1123866121-2\">Diversification is Vital  <\/h3>\n<p>The Global South needs to diversify geographically, financially, technologically, logistically, institutionally, and commercially to reduce overdependence, according to the pundit.   He spotlights India, which is building its own digital and tech infrastructure while expanding its supply chains and export markets.  Russia is facilitating this process <strong>&#8220;through BRICS, the SCO, Eurasian integration, and stronger engagement with Asian and Global South partners,&#8221; <\/strong>Sachdev notes.  &#8220;Institutions themselves are nodes of power.
