If they allow India, then every nation deserve to join the P5 membership club, what make India any special compare to the rest of the nations in this world? Every nation with veto power P5 is a useless club with or without the original P5 membership.
Not a childish game as you infer but Russia and China surely not want any new member with the power that can ally with US to counteract both China and Russia under the resolution mandate by the UN.
My post respond to the op mention about India support Dalai Lama position on Tibet, my guess India to ally with the US there will be a higher chance India will conspire with US to invade China to take Tibet.
You think Russia and China will agree with India into the UNSC membership when they fully know India ally with US policy to counter both Russia and China? Russia and China ain't no fool.
You only able to vote for the crook in India that the freedom you get, free to defecating open, free to practice child labor, free to own a modern day slave. That what India democracy stand for.
India have no other choice, India can't dominate the region anyway, why not ride with the US to put China and Russia in check, maybe they finally gain their status as a regional power.
How much can US and India military alliance can threaten China since China still are nuclear arm nation, last resort everyone life's can by bury under the nuclear waste.
In other for India to gain the permanent UNSC membership, the Big5 all need to agree with the decision. US alone can't guarantor India position in the UNSC membership.
Good job ally with US and dissed the Russian, the all time tested India friend.
Good new, India finally follow US eccentric leading the world, India just scratch their regional power ambition and follow the US only superpower in this world. Congrats India.
India can't gain their regional ambition anyway, better to tag along the top dawg in this world.
