India and the United Nations

摘要

India should use its growing wealth, power and influence to return the UN to its foun-dational values and ideals in the service of humanity. Poverty strips human beings of dignity and is profoundly demeaning. It is an affront to the human conscience. India must lead the UN community to make it history. That would justify India's claim to permanent membership of the Security Council and also leave a legacy worthy of Indian history.
