One of the important topics that was raised in diplomatic and academic circles after the Cold War was the discussion of reforms in the UN Security Council. At that time, two general objections were brought to the Security Council: illegitimacy and inefficiency. One of the suggested ways to solve this problem was to increase the number of members and various plans were also presented in this regard. India has been one of the contending countries for permanent membership, and for this purpose, it proposed the "Group of Four" plan. Population, size, democracy, nuclear capability, and effective cooperation with the United Nations have been among the reasons for India's candidacy for a permanent seat in the Security Council. The question of this article is why New Delhi is seeking a permanent seat? The hypothesis of the article, which has been examined in a descriptive-analytical way, is that India is seeking international status by becoming a permanent member of the Security Council. A country that achieves international status is able to take advantage of this status to acquire and exercise power and influence and elevate its position to a position beyond the current rank. The findings of the article showed that the efforts that India has made so far are insufficient and a new strategy is needed to achieve the goal.
