It's Time for India...

...to get their seat on the Security Council...

It's a crying shame that countries with miniscule populations have seats on the Security Council while India doesn't have a permanent seat. With a population that exceeds that of the entire continent of Europe which has two permanent members (France and Britain), it has a democratically-elected government that deserves a voice in international affairs.

Personally, I'm for the complete overhaul of the structure and membership of the United Nations. But if it has to continue in essentially its current form, then India deserves a voice in its decisions.

I'm with Tony Blair: the time has come...
