Why India Deserves a Permanent Seat in the UNSC ?

Diverse people from backgrounds like academia, social work, business, and so many more interact and express their opinion on why India should become a permanent member of the UNSC and how change in that aspect would bring it balance and justice in global governance

As the world power is undergoing changes, and more and more people are asking the UN to change the make-up of their Security Council according to the current world, India remains one of the strongest contenders for a permanent seat. The fast-growing economy, strong dedication to peacekeeping, and long history of diplomatic work would make India a desirable choice for a permanent position. India's participation in the UNSC would give voice to more than a billion people and would be a voice of developing countries desperately needed. India promotes fair international relations, global security, and development, making it a true world leader. The current Security Council structure to be run by the powers or states created after World War II must be altered and must be changed to reflect a more equal representation of the world. Diverse people from backgrounds like academia, social work, business, and so many more interact and express their opinion on why India should become a permanent member of the UNSC and how change in that aspect would bring it balance and justice in global governance.

India is full of different cultures and pieces of natural beauty that, together, make India a global tourism leader. International relations are maintained through tourism. Every year, millions of tourists from various parts of the world visit India. This not only drives the economy, but it also brings people from different cultures closer together, therefore helping in global peace and interrelation. India's historical heritage sites, from the ancient Indus Valley Civilization to its contemporary democratic institutions, bridge Eastern and Western cultures. With this rich cultural heritage, India can open up a new direction for tourism-a "people-to-people" diplomacy, peace building, and sustainable development vehicle. A permanent seat in the UNSC for India would allow the country to decide rules for the world regarding tourism and cultural preservation, paramount for friendly international relations. Indian support for sustainable and responsible tourism will show how vital environmental and cultural protection is to global security efforts.

India has always believed in equality, justice, and the peaceful resolution of problems. These attributes are more than overdue at the UN Security Council. The present structure of the Security Council is based on the principles that prevailed during the post-Second World War period, which hardly represents the situation as it prevails in the world today. Giving India this permanent seat at the UN provides a voice for Global South, representing mostly developing countries that bear the pain of international conflicts but have no say over global security policies. Additionally, being an atomic power also increases India's role as a stakeholder within global security matters. Also, India has always been about talking and diplomacy rather than fighting. That can help balance the Council. A country with such a populous population, robust economy, and leading its position in various non-aligned movements must play a role in structuring the future of global governance.

India has contributed highly to world peacekeeping and security, and hence it should be given a permanent seat in the UNSC. India has taken part in more UN peace-keeping missions than any other country has and has always attempted to keep peace and stability in areas with conflicts. It reflects on not just India's military power but also its commitment to peace and a sense of empathy with others in distress. Also, India is a nuclear power and has one of the biggest military forces in the world. As this is the leading job of UNSC, which involves holding international peace and security, having India as a permanent member will add a new dimension to how the council works. It would ensure that one of the most significant contributors to UN missions could have a say in important matters. It would actually create a balance to the might of other nuclear countries and help create a more reasonable security system.

India can play a very important role by becoming part of the permanent UNSC members. It will give better representation to the Global South. India has always stood by the rights and aspiration of developing countries, and it will raise the voice of billions of people in Africa, Asia, and Latin America who are not doing well in the world today. India has proved that it cares for international peace and stability by engaging in many UN peacekeeping missions, sometimes sending its troops to the world's most perilous areas. The democratic principles of India, together with its emphasis on working in cooperation, find an apt fit with the UN principles. In fact, the power changes happening around the globe, especially in Asia, do not make the UNSC credible enough because it leaves out a big country like India. Being an economically and politically emerging country, India would bring in a new and balanced opinion on matters of global security.

In today's world, global security is not just about war but more so about dealing with large problems such as climate change. India has become a leader in solving environmental issues around the world. Being one of the key negotiators in international talks about climate, India supported a fair approach that lets developing countries grow economically and further helps in global sustainability efforts. If India could get a permanent seat in the UNSC, then the UNSC would benefit from a country that really cares about sustainable development as well as environmental fairness. India's leadership in efforts that foster renewable energy, especially through programs such as the International Solar Alliance, demonstrates its influence in this area. A permanent seat would allow India to urge the UNSC to consider environmental degradation and resource depletion as important security issues, thereby ensuring that there was a comprehensive approach to international peace and security.

The world economy is closely linked to global security, and because of growing economic importance, India is now a strong contender for a permanent position in the UN Security Council. India is one of the rapidly growing economies in the world, and it contributes much toward global trade and technologies. India is part of international groups like the G20 and BRICS. It has always supported a fair global economy that helps both rich and poor countries. If India is included in the UNSC, it would make sure that Western powers do not control economic decisions alone. Also, India’s own economic policies aim for growth that includes everyone and helps reduce poverty. These policies serve as a good example for other developing countries. Having a permanent seat would enable India to agree on policies that link economic growth to global security and ensure that economic differences do not become international conflicts

The permanent membership of India in UNSC would upgrade the old mechanism of power in the Council. There are still those members that reflect the world situation more or less like in the middle of the 20th century, rather than reflecting the real multipolar contemporary world. Increasing political and military strength makes it an important actor in the system of world leadership. What is more, India has always tried to help with peacekeeping and supported solving conflicts peacefully. India proves to be very diligent in diplomacy through its efforts in the Non-Aligned Movement. The UN Security Council needs more countries like India that think that talking things out is better than using guns. In addition, India's diverse population and different cultures have an extraordinary perspective that can lead towards the resolution of conflicts among groups. If India is given a permanent position, then the UNSC would be more representative and better able to face the demands of this century's world.

Since its independence, India has been among the most important countries in the world. It is known for its leadership in the Non-Aligned Movement and its stand for supporting countries that want to escape colonial control. Through time, India has developed into a mediator and a supporter of peaceful ways of solving conflicts based on its own experience of defeating colonial rule. India is the world's largest democracy and has managed to marry old cultural knowledge with modern democratic ideas. Inclusion of India into the UNSC will reflect its importance in today's world and its past efforts for global peace and stability. The international community would view a permanent seat for India as valuable additions to the Security Council in order to represent the population of the world as well as allowing countries other than those of the West to be given value. India wants to avoid fighting and live peacefully with others. This matches the main values of the UN, making India’s request for permanent membership even stronger.

India has an extremely strong legal system and abides by international law. And hence it is an excellent candidate for a permanent seat in the UNSC. India has always stuck to the norm of rule of law in the conduct of international relations. India has always promoted resolution of conflicts through legal and not the route of military force. Also, India’s strong role in creating important international legal agreements shows its commitment to building a fair and just world. The current UN Security Council membership favours countries that have often used military power to gain control, and including India would provide a more legal and diplomatic way of doing things. Moreover, the collaboration of India with the International Court of Justice and other international legal institutions as well shows its capabilities in handling complex legal and security issues. A permanent seat would help India to further strengthen the rule of law in significant international decisions.

India is rapidly taking an increasingly active role in the global business scene, especially in technology and innovation. To this end, India plays a leading role in creating many of the globe's top start-ups and multinational companies. With the increasing reliance of global security on cybersecurity and improvements in technology, India would provide critical insights to the Security Council. Economically, India is trying to improve relations with other nations, particularly through the support of developing countries. Most current UN Security Council members are of Western, developed nations, and having India on the council will add greater diversity in discussing global trade, new ideas, and safety. With its permanent seat in the Security Council, India would be able to support policies that ensure technology grows while promising peace and security in such a connected world.
