After the Covid-19 period, when there is a new arrangement in all fields and the poles of power are constantly changing on the global stage, it is natural to discuss India's position in international politics. India is known as the largest democratic system in the world and the second largest country in the world in terms of population. Even though 25 percent of India's population lives below the poverty line, the world believes that India can play an important role in the world today. The powerful nations of the world are recognizing India's strength. Even so, only a few major nations have a monopoly on global decision-making. India has been demanding permanent membership in the Security Council to break this monopoly of these nations. Many countries are also supporting this demand of India. However, America has a hidden opposition to this and China has a clear opposition. Permanent membership in the Security Council does not mean that India will become a superpower. But why is India being neglected despite its potential? It is natural to ask such a question. Today the world is looking at India as a fast growing economy. India's economy is worth two trillion dollars and there are signs of further growth in the coming years. In terms of GDP, India is emerging as the third largest economy after China and the US. India is also a member of important organizations like International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization. The country is also self-sufficient in terms of food grains, with the majority of the population dependent on agriculture. The country's progress in information technology is spectacular. There is a huge demand for manpower in this field abroad. In the field of space research, India has skyrocketed. Many countries are eager to launch satellites from India. Indian ancient culture is respected all over the world. India has one or more such strengths. So there is no doubt that India can definitely lead the world. Against this backdrop, what is the exact position and role of India in international politics? An attempt has been made to find this through the present research paper.
