Complete answer:
The United Nation was established just after the End Of World War 2. On June, 26, 1945 India was the among 50 countries to sign the UN charter. After signing the UN charter on October, 30, 1945 India joined the United Nations.
The United Nations has six principal organs and 15 specialised Agencies that carry out various functions on behalf of the United Nations. India shows its active membership in all its special Agencies and in principle organs except inUnited Nations Security Council. The United Nations Security Council has only five permanent members.
