ReplyDeleteEnu for 16A not clear
ReplyDeleteBloc including India and China is BRICS.
DeleteIndia=I
China= mate
Excluding = keeping outside.

DeleteChina to mate was not in debate. But to go to pal/ally from mate was.
DeletePardon my memory or the lack of it!

You're welcome Suresh. I am sure you'll be able to solve the entire puzzle soon.

ReplyDeleteIn 2010 South Africa joined the group and it became BRICS
