Is the UN Against India? Let's Talk About It

Ever feel like the United Nations (UN) is always on India's case? From Kashmir to human rights reports, it sometimes feels like the UN leans a little too hard in directions that don't favor India. But is that really the full picture, or are we missing some key details?

Let's break it down.

Why Does It Feel Like the UN is Anti-India?

Honestly, this belief has roots in some pretty big historical moments and ongoing global politics. Here’s what’s driving that perception:

1. The Kashmir Saga – A Never-Ending Story

Kashmir is the centerpiece of India’s complicated relationship with the UN. Back in 1947, when India and Pakistan were newly independent, they went to war over Jammu and Kashmir. India went to the UN for help, and the Security Council passed Resolution 47, suggesting that the people of Kashmir should vote on their future. Sounds simple, right?

Well, it didn’t happen. Why? Pakistan was supposed to withdraw its troops first – and didn’t. India argues that this failure invalidated the resolution, but Pakistan (and often China) keeps bringing Kashmir up at the UN. For India, this feels like the world keeps reopening an old wound that should be settled directly between India and Pakistan.

2. UN Reports That Rub India the Wrong Way

In 2018 and 2019, the UN published reports criticizing India’s actions in Kashmir, highlighting alleged human rights violations. India was quick to clap back, calling these reports "biased" and ignoring the role of terrorism from across the border.

For many Indians, these reports seem to skip over Pakistan’s part in the conflict, adding to the feeling that the UN’s focus isn’t always balanced.

But Wait – India’s Big Contributions to the UN

For all the friction, India is actually a major player in the UN. From peacekeeping missions to sustainable development, India puts in the work. Here’s the side that often gets overlooked:

1. India – The Peacekeeping MVP

India has been a UN peacekeeping giant. Over 260,000 Indian troops have served in 49 missions since 1948. As of now, more than 5,500 Indian personnel are stationed worldwide.

Fun fact (but also a sad one) – India has lost 175 peacekeepers in these missions, the highest of any country. That’s a serious commitment to global peace.

2. Pushing for a Better Planet

India isn’t just about military support. The country is leading the way in sustainable development. The Saubhagya scheme, which electrified 28.6 million households, directly supports UN goals for clean energy.

India also co-founded the International Solar Alliance (ISA), pulling together over 110 countries to push for solar power and combat climate change.

3. Vaccine Maitri – Helping the World Heal

Remember when India sent COVID-19 vaccines to over 100 countries? That was part of India’s "Vaccine Maitri" initiative, aligning with UN goals to promote global health.

The Big Dream – A Permanent Seat at the UNSC

India’s been knocking on the door of the UN Security Council (UNSC) for years, pushing for a permanent seat. And let’s be real – India’s got a strong case:

World’s most populous country (yes, we overtook China!).

Fifth-largest economy by GDP.

A leader in peacekeeping and global development.

The main blocker? China. While the US, France, and Russia are generally supportive, China continues to stand in the way, making India’s path to permanent UNSC membership tricky.

Notable Wins for India at the UN

It’s not all resistance. India has scored some major victories at the UN:

2019: Pakistan-based terrorist Masood Azhar was listed as a global terrorist – a big win for India.

2022-23: India chaired the UN Counter-Terrorism Committee, reflecting its rising influence in global security.

The Rival Factor – Pakistan and China’s Role

It’s important to remember that the UN is a political playground. Countries like Pakistan and China often lobby hard against India’s interests:

China’s veto blocks India’s efforts to blacklist terrorists.

Pakistan regularly raises the Kashmir issue at the UN.

India, in response, is building strong alliances through groups like the Quad (with the US, Japan, and Australia).

The Verdict – Is the UN Really Against India?

While India has its share of clashes with the UN, the relationship is far more complex than just "anti-India." India plays a huge role in shaping UN policies and contributing to global progress.

Instead of viewing the UN as hostile, it’s more accurate to see the relationship as one that’s evolving. As India’s global influence grows, so will its role within the UN.

What do you think? Is the UN unfair to India, or is this just the reality of international politics? Let’s chat!

President's Speech: 71st Republic Day, 2020

Dear fellow residents,Video on Demand: President's Address to the Nation On the eve of our 71st Republic Day, I amplify my heat greetings to all of you, in India and overseas.

Seven a long time ago, on 26th January, our Constitution came into effect. Even before that, this date had received special significance. 26 January Speech Having resolved to obtain 'Purna Swaraj', our people had been celebrating 'Purna Swaraj Day' on every 26th January from 1930 to 1947. That is why, in 1950 we embarked our journey as a Republic at the 26th January, asserting to the standards laid down in our Constitution. Since then, every year we have a good time our Republic Day on twenty sixth January.

The modern-day State incorporates the 3 organs - Legislature, Executive and Judiciary, which are always interlinked and interdependent. Yet, on floor, the human beings incorporate the State. 'We the People' are the prime movers of the Republic. With us, the human beings of India rests the actual power to determine our collective destiny.

Our Constitution gave us rights as citizens of a free democratic nation, but additionally positioned on us the obligation to always adhere to the principal tenets of our democracy - justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. It turns into less complicated for us to comply with those constitutional beliefs, if we preserve in thoughts the existence and values of the Father of our Nation. By doing so, we will be including a significant dimension to our celebrations of one hundred and fiftieth start anniversary of Gandhiji.

Dear fellow citizens,

The Government has launched some of welfare campaigns, and what is in particular noteworthy approximately them is the truth that residents have voluntarily grew to become them into popular movements. The 'Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan' has achieved remarkable fulfillment in such a short time. The equal spirit can be visible in different endeavours. Be it giving up cooking fuel subsidy or pushing virtual bills, the not unusual guy has made the government programmes his own, making them simply powerful. The achievement of the 'Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana' is an issue of pride, as the goal of 8 crore beneficiaries has been achieved. With this, the ones in need have get entry to to easy gasoline. The 'Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana', that is, 'Saubhagya' too has brightened humans's lives. Under 'Pradhanmantri Kisan Samman Nidhi', extra than 14 crore farmer households have grow to be entitled to receive minimum annual profits of Rupees six thousand. This has enabled the farmers who feed us to live a existence of dignity.

To effectively meet the project of the growing water crisis, the Ministry of Jalshakti has been created. Water conservation and water control are being given top precedence. I am assured that, like 'Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan', 'Jal Jeevan Mission' too will take the shape of a popular movement.

Along with the welfare of those most in need, every coverage initiative of the Government is guided through the 'nation-first' precept. The roll-out of the GST has realised our vision of 'One u . S . A ., One tax, One market'. It is being complemented by using the e-NAM scheme, that is strengthening the system of making 'one market for one nation' and will advantage farmers. There is a consistent attempt via the government to ensure universal development of every and each a part of the country - be it Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh, the states in the North-East or our Islands inside the Indian Ocean.

Strong inner safety is essential for the development of the u . S .. Therefore, the government has taken numerous concrete steps to strengthen the inner protection device.

Access to fitness and education are frequently considered the foundation of true governance. In both these sectors, we've come a long way within the seven many years. The Government has rightly targeted its interest at the fitness region, with its formidable initiatives. Starting with the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, and expanding to the Ayushman Bharat, that's the world's biggest publicly funded standard healthcare programme, the Government has shown its care and problem for the well-being of the terrible. Quality of healthcare has advanced, so has its attain. The Jan Aushadhi Yojana has delivered down the healthcare finances of not unusual humans within the u . S . Through offering fine familiar drugs at cheap fees.

Dear fellow citizens,

The foundations of a legitimate education machine were constructed in ancient instances, with the putting in place of excellent universities like Nalanda and Takshashila. In India, knowledge has continually been considered more valuable than electricity, repute or riches. In our way of life, instructional institutions are respected as temples of learning. When our land become pushed into backwardness after the lengthy colonial rule, it changed into schooling that emerged as a course to empowerment. Even even though the improvement of our educational institutions started out quickly after Independence, in an surroundings of shortage of sources, our achievements in the subject of training have followed a wonderful trajectory. Our endeavour is to make certain that no infant or teenagers is denied education. At the same time, we need to attempt to reach worldwide training standards with the aid of continuous reform of our tutorial systems.

India is happy with the achievements of ISRO. They are making similarly progress in Mission Gaganyaan, and the country excitedly seems forward to the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme gaining similarly momentum this yr.

This is also the 12 months of Tokyo Olympics. While India has historically carried out well in a number of sports, the new technology of players and athletes has brought laurels for the country in an increasing number of types of sports activities in recent years. At Olympics 2020, the Indian contingent could be subsidized by means of cheers and proper desires of hundreds of thousands of Indians.

Another source of delight for our u . S . A . Has been our diaspora. During my visits abroad, I even have observed that Indians have now not best delivered prosperity to their followed lands, they've also greater India's photograph before the world community. Many of them have made brilliant contributions in a wide sort of endeavours.

Dear fellow residents,

I have nothing but unreserved reward for our armed forces, paramilitary and inner protection forces. Their sacrifices to hold the integrity and unity of our u . S . A . Gift a saga of unheard of courage and area. Our farmers, medical doctors and nurses, instructors who impart mastering and values, scientists and engineers, alert and lively youth, industrious participants of our staff, marketers contributing to our monetary wealth, artists who increase our culture, provider area experts who have earned international appreciation, our fellow countrymen contributing in many different spheres of hobby and mainly our resilient daughters who've scaled new heights of achievements towards odds - all of them carry satisfaction to our nation.

Earlier this month, I had the possibility to interact with a few achievers who have performed commendable paintings in various fields. Working silently, they have got made large contributions to numerous fields which includes science and innovation, sports, empowerment of Divyang people, farming and afforestation, girls and infant empowerment, training, healthcare, revival of vintage artwork paperwork and offering meals and nutrition to the needy. For instance, Sushri Aarifa Jan has revived the Numdha handicrafts in Jammu & Kashmir; Sushri Ratnawali Kottapallihas been serving sufferers affected by thalassemia in Telangana; Shrimati Devaki Amma has evolved wooded area wealth through her person efforts in Kerala; Shri Jamkhojang Misao has improved the lives of many people through his network development efforts in Manipur and Shri Babar Ali has been supplying schooling to underprivileged kids in West Bengal for the reason that his adolescence. There are severa such examples, I even have noted just a few of them. They exemplify that ordinary human beings could make notable contributions. There are a big quantity of voluntary businesses too who've been contributing to the challenge of kingdom-constructing, and complementing the initiatives of presidency.

Fellow Citizens,

We are now inside the 0.33 decade of the twenty-first century. This may be the decade of the upward thrust of New India and a brand new era of Indians. More and extra of these born on this century are taking part in the country wide discourse. With the passage of time, we are regularly dropping dwelling hyperlinks with our splendid freedom struggle, but there's no reason to fear about the continuity of the ideals that guided it. With advances in technology, the young minds of today are higher informed and extra assured. The subsequent technology stays strongly committed to the center values of our kingdom. For our youth, the nation constantly comes first. With them, we are witnessing the emergence of a New India.

Mahatma Gandhi's ideals remain relevant in our country-building efforts. It need to be a part of our day by day habitual to introspect on Gandhiji's message of fact and nonviolence, which has come to be all of the extra important in our times.

When preventing for a cause, people, especially the adolescents, have to now not forget the gift of Ahimsa Gandhiji gave to humanity. Gandhiji's talisman for determining whether or not an act is proper or incorrect also applies to the functioning of our democracy. Government and opposition both have essential roles to play. While giving expression to their political thoughts, each ought to pass ahead in tandem to make certain that improvement of the u . S . A . And welfare of its humans are promoted always.

Dear fellow residents, As our Republic Day is a celebration of our Constitution, permit me conclude with the phrases of its chief architect, Babasaheb Ambedkar:

"If we wish to maintain democracy not simply in form, but additionally in truth, what must we do? The first element in my judgment we ought to do is to preserve rapid to constitutional strategies of attaining our social and monetary goals."

These words have continually lighted our direction. These phrases will preserve to reveal us the manner ahead to new glories.

Dear residents,

The concept of worldwide as a big properly-knit family, captured in our message of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', strengthens our family members with other nations. We were sharing our democratic beliefs and the culmination of our development with the complete global.

We have a lifestyle of inviting overseas heads of states to participate in our Republic Day celebrations. I am happy that this year, our outstanding pal, The President of Brazil, Mr. Bolsonaro will participate in our Republic Day characteristic day after today.

As India and Indians march ahead, we stay dedicated to enticing the global community to build a comfortable and prosperous future for ourselves and for the complete humanity.

I once more bring my Republic Day greetings to all of you and I enlarge my great desires in your bright destiny.

Jai Hind!

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi reviewed the implementation of the PM-SVANidhi Scheme of Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs earlier today.

It was informed over 2.6 lakh applications have been received, over 64,000 have been sanctioned and over 5,500 have been disbursed. He expressed satisfaction on use of end-to-end IT solutions through a web-portal and mobile App for the administration of the Scheme to ensure transparency, accountability, and speed. #Narendramodi #StreetVendors #SIDBI #MoHUA_india #PM-SVANidhiScheme While noting that the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is working on a complete IT solution including a mobile application for seamless implementation of the scheme, Prime Minister said that the scheme design should incentive the use of end-to-end digital transactions by the street vendors. This should cover the entire gamut of their business – from procurement of raw material to the collection of sale proceeds. Appropriate incentives and pieces of training should be conducted for this purpose. The use of digital payments would also help build a credit profile for the street vendor helping them in future financial needs.

Prime Minister said that the scheme should not be just seen from the perspective for extending loans to street vendors. It should also be seen as a part of an outreach to the street vendors for their holistic development and economic upliftment. Such data could also be used by different Ministries of Government of India to benefit them under various Schemes for which they are eligible, on priority. These include housing under PMAY-U, cooking gas under Ujjawala, electricity under Saubhagya, health under Ayushman Bharat, skilling under DAY-NULM, Bank account under Jan Dhan, etc.

The government of India has launched PM SVANidhi Scheme to facilitate collateral-free working capital loan up to Rs.10,000/- of one-year tenure, to approximately, 50 lakh street vendors, to resume their businesses. Incentives in the form of interest subsidy (@ 7% per annum) and cashback (up to Rs.1,200/- per annum) are being provided to promote good repayment behavior and digital transactions respectively. The interest subsidy effectively works out to 30 % of the entire interest burden for a loan of Rs. 10,000 @ 24 % annual interest.

Therefore, in effect the vendor does not pay any interest, rather gets a subsidy on the loan amount if he repays in time and uses digital transactions for all receipts and payments. The scheme entails enhanced next tranche of loan on early or timely repayment. Loan processing has begun since July 02, 2020, through an IT platform “PM SVANidhi” with Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), which is the implementing agency for the scheme administration.
