Abstract
As India gains increasing recognition as one of the world's major political, economic and military powers, attention is naturally drawn to the United Nations. In 2015 Indian Prime Minister Narendara Modi made it clear that India's intention was to gain a permanent seat in the United Nation's Security Council. The case for Indian permanent membership is in many ways self-evident. India is the world's largest functioning democracy and its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) already exceeds that of one of the Permanent members and soon will overtake a second. India's challenge is not its case but the inherent power of the permanent members. In P5 nations such as the United States and the United Kingdom, Indian success may reside with the Indian Diaspora's ability to move public opinion.
