A) when UN was set up , US , UK, Russia and French asked India to Join the UN P5 body, but India refused and said China should be in UN council because they are most polulous nation ( this was blunder done by our new born PM because he don't know about world politics and influenced by Communalism).
That is a complete lie. Yet Indians keep repeating this same urban legend.
Here are the facts:
The Hindu - Nehru clarifies
Prime Minister Nehru has categorically denied any offer, formal or informal, having been received about a seat for India in the UN Security Council. He made this statement in reply to a short notice question in the Lok Sabha on September 27 by Dr. J.N. Parekh whether India had refused a seat informally offered to her in the Security Council.
The Prime Minister said: "There has been no offer, formal or informal, of this kind. Some vague references have appeared in the press about it which have no foundation in fact."
"The composition of the Security Council is prescribed by the UN Charter, according to which certain specified nations have permanent seats. No change or addition can be made to this without an amendment of the Charter. There is, therefore, no question of a seat being offered and India declining it."
Please read the entire statement from Nehru, especially the last two paragraphs.
