The UNSC, as presently comprised is neither geographically representative nor effective. The recent developments
show that UNSC needs to reflect new world realities and the new geopolitical balance.
Indias point of view
India has been elected as a non-permanent member to UNSC for seven terms, last was in 2011-12.
Indias is a $2 trillion economy, with third largest country in terms of purchasing power parity, a responsible nuclear
power with third largest standing army in the world, ruled by a democratic, secular government.
India is the largest contributor to the UN peacekeeping Operations with nearly 180,000 troops serving in 44
missions.
India is also one among the highest financial contributors to the UN and its organs like UNDEF (Democracy Funds)
that too when economically and morally exhausted nations like France and UK remain on the council.
