Necessity of the reform:

In order to find solutions to the contemporary global realities, the highest authority must have adequate representation from the world community. The Security Council has not seen any change in its permanent structure since 1963 even as the geopolitical architecture of the world has changed dramatically. There has been no permanent member representing African continent, irrespective of the fact that 75 per cent of UNSC tasks are for Africa. The committee has failed several times in curbing international terrorism, modern invasions, real and proxy wars, so called defensive bombings and could seldom provide immediate solutions to raging issues. 3. India’s entitlement to the permanent membership: The factors that can define the status of escalation possibly are- population territorial size GDP economic potential civilizational legacy cultural diversity political system past and on-going contributions to the activities of the UN India is a perfect candidate for this post as it’s democratic stability, development, mighty defence, and diplomatic potentials have the propensity to resolve conflicts or make important decisions thereby protecting the sovereignty and integrity of member nations. Other powerful countries like Germany and Japan were the Axis powers defeated in the war, and had obviously not been offered a seat decades back. However, given their current diplomatic and economic dominance, these countries are leading contenders in the membership battle. Through bilateral channels, interlocutors, transnational summits, extensive debates and adept diplomacy, India has strongly pitched for this permanent seat. With support from countries like the United States, France and Britain, the pitch goes high. Along with it, India has raised concerns to become member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). India is extremely vulnerable to attacks from its hostile neighbours Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and especially China. Their aggression is likely to harm several other factors of growth. A complete solution to the Kashmir issue haunting the valley since independence can also be sought through UNSC.
