I would say, India is a power in its own borders. Otherwise, India has serious issues with Pakistan. For the last 60 years they are fighting on disputed Kashmir region. UN has asked to organize plebiscite in Kashmir and ask people of Kashmir which country they want to join. India and China has serious issues on Hamachal Pardesh area. Sri Lanka has also concerns with India in proking militant groups in Sri Lanka. India is our good ally but not suitable for SC seat.
I never said it was, I just answered a question about India being a regional power. It is. It is ranked 4th in the world when it comes to the military.
