Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention. Read carefully.

SInce its inception, the United Nations has promoted international cooperation by maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights and fostering social and economic development. India was a founding member of the United Nations, joining it in October 1945, two years before acquiring independence from the British Raj. By 1946, it had started raising concerns regarding colonialism, disarmament and racial discrimination. It stood at the forefront during the UN’s tumultuous years of struggle against colonialism and apartheid. In 1953, the chief delegate of India at the time, Vijaya Laxmi Pandit was elected the first woman President of UN General Assembly. India supported the struggle towards global disarmament and the ending of the arms race, and towards the creation of a more equitable international economic order. Having faced the plight of colonialism for centuries India took a very strong stand on decolonization and the formation of a ‘free world’ where no country is subjugated by the other and every country is allowed to maintain its autonomy and preserve its sovereignty. India was also elected the first chair of the Decolonization Committee where its ceaseless efforts to put an end to colonialism have been lauded. India was also amongst the most outspoken critics of apartheid and racial discrimination in South Africa. Being the founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement and the Group of 77, India cemented its position within the UN system as a leading advocate of the concerns and aspirations of developing countries and the creation of a more equitable international economic and political order. A major blow to India’s active participation in the United Nations Reforms occurred between 1962-1976 when India faced a war with China following which it became involved in two wars with Pakistan. This was a period of economic stagnation, political instability and famine like conditions throughout India. 

Soon after the UN’s non-proliferation agenda became another irritant that forced India to view some units of the organization with a distaste for imposing discriminatory regimes instead of promoting universal disarmament. India has stressed the importance of the United Nations as a strong international organization, which should reflect the contemporary global realities. India has been actively working with other like-minded countries for building support of UN membership for a meaningful restructuring and expansion of UNSC. Nations from Africa find no place in permanent membership despite 75% of the UNSC work being focused there. The Government of India has strongly put forward India’s case for permanent membership to the Security Council, which is based on its extensive contribution to the activities of the UN particularly the maintenance of international peace and security. So far India has taken part in 43 Peacekeeping missions with the total contribution exceeding 160,000 troops and a significant number of police personnel having been deployed. June 21 was declared as the International Day of Yoga by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 2014. India has played a key role in the United Nations reforms. It has been the driving force behind many reforms like the end of colonialism and apartheid. It has always taken a strong stand on issues of national importance and spoken actively about those of global importance.
