The volume represents the culmination of a research initiative undertaken to commemorate seventy years of India’s engagement with the United Nations. The first outcome of this initiative was the two-part compendium, India in the United Nations General Assembly (1945–2018), published in 2019. Those volumes documented India’s participation in the deliberations of the General Assembly across a wide range of global issues. The present volume shifts the focus to India’s engagement with the United Nations Security Council. By bringing together speeches delivered by India’s representatives before the Council, it unfolds the consistency of India’s core positions—its defence of sovereignty, its scepticism of great-power unilateralism, its advocacy for reformed multilateralism—while also highlighting the shifts in emphasis demanded by changing international circumstances. From the Kashmir question of 1948 and the Korean War to the debates over decolonisation, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Bangladesh crisis, and the post-Cold War interventions in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, India’s voice in the Council emerges as principled yet pragmatic, independent, and consistently engaged with the multilateral system. The volume arrives at a moment of acute stress on the multilateral system. As effectiveness of the Security Council remains under intense scrutiny, and as debates over Security Council reform acquire fresh urgency, this meticulously researched compilation should serve as an indispensable reference for scholars, diplomats, and policymakers, seeking to understand India’s place in the global governance architecture.
