Question 3. Which among the following would give more weightage to India’s proposal for a permanent member in the Security Council. (A) Nuclear Capability (B) It has been a member of the UN since its inception (C) It is located in Asia (D) India growing economic power and stable political system Answer
All of the above If we study the above mentioned parameters for a country to become a member of the UN Security Council, we will support India’s candidature on the grounds that India is a multi-ethnic and diverse country in Asia, and it can surely be seen as a political voice for the Asian countries. Likewise, India’s military, defence and nuclear capability add to its strength and its claim for a seat in the Security Council. The country can boast of being the largest and the most stable democracy in the world. Also, India is one of the founding members of the UN and has participated in all its activities.
