Obama indeed has done a very terrible job by visiting India like this. It'd not be a bad deal if it were all nothing but some trade stuff etc..
Yet he declares his support towards India becoming a permanent member of UNSC.
wut?
Gosh, I know you guys with Brasil and Mexico makes up a team that wants that seat in that council. But that is not the way how it shall work.
IMHO only the 'super powers' shall have perma-seats in that council. Let alone being a super power, India is not even a regional power. The only influence it has regionally is on Pakistan, which has not gone beyond threatening to fight, and also, fighting, with no outcome of it.
Well, if even India were a super power, I'd still not be in the opinion of it having a perma seat in that council.
IMHO the countries there shall be at the very least developed, or lets say, "modernized" a bit in the first place.
Most of the population in india still live like animals. They kill each other, rape each other, bury their children alive etc..
The reason why these aspects stand for a legitimate barrier against India's accession into the council is that, the people of India in general is very uneducated, inexperienced, poor, ignorant in general.
Providing such a powerful tool to such a instabilized nation is by no means wise.
First, Indians shall learn to be patient. Second, they shall spend tens of years to properly set their governmental tools and infrastructures, adopt a proper economical understanding and fix their economy accordingly, increase the level of education and reduce the level of poverty.
After doing all these, then they shall start increasing their global influence slowly.
And when the time comes, they will be invited to that council by themselves anyway..
