Read the passage below and answer the questions below:

India's role on the international stage was moulded by history rather than by the pomp and circumstances of war.
As a separate entity of the British empire, India became a founder member of the League of Nations in the same
Way as Australia and Canada, and thus acquired a somewhat unique international status long before
independence. During the days of the League when India's interests were affected, such as in matters of trade or
the position of Indians overseas, the Indian delegation did not hesitate to make known its independent position,
for what it was worth. Some Indian delegates were. In demand for chairing meetings riddled with contention
and controversy, because of their reputation for impartiality and talent for mediation. These were the small
beginnings of India's later entry into the United Nations in 1945, again as a founder member before
independence. The drafting of Chapter IX and X of the UN Charter, which deal with international social and
economic cooperation, was entrusted to a group that was presided over by an Indian. It is important, however, to
bear in mind that fact that the Government of independent India had no part in the drafting of the UN Charter,
although in accepted the obligations contained therein. The UN was primarily the creation of three powers-The
USA, UK and Russia. The size, population, resources and potential of India lent it the weight of a medium
622 4316 (A)
power in the functioning of the United Nations. The fact that India was among the first nations to liberate itself
from the imperialist domination through non-violent means. Endowed it with a moral obligation to work in and
outside the UN for the independence of nations still under colonial rule. India has served on the Security
Council for 10 years or 5 terms, on the Trusteeship Council for 12 years or 4 terms and on the Economic and
Social Council for 21 years or 7 terms.
