India is undertaking a massive re-evaluation of its regional and global roles in the context of post-Cold War security arrangements. Participation in UN peacekeeping missions used to be a crucial way for India to display its Third World credentials as well as its unwavering commitment to the UN and the values and spirit of the Non-Aligned Movement. India has continued to participate in UN operations in various parts of the world and in various positions since its independence in 1947. Since then, India's attitude and approach to UN peacekeeping, and by extension, the entire UN apparatus, has been idealistic from the outset, taking strength and moral high ground from its one-of-a-kind freedom struggle. This reflected the values of internationalism and world peace that our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, had. As a result, India's participation in a number of UN peacekeeping missions at the time reflected this idealistic mindset. India's position and attitude to peacekeeping operations has altered considerably in response to changing geopolitics. Our own geopolitical interests and ambitions influenced what began out as a moral imperative to safeguard global peace principles. At the same time, India was establishing itself as one of the world's most powerful democracies, with vast political and economic potential. This thought fuelled our desire to seek a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. It became obvious as India's perspective on the conflict in its own backyard, the Indian Subcontinent, diverged dramatically from that of the rest of the world. The United Nations (UN) formed UN Peacekeeping to restore international peace and security during its early years of existence. “UN Peacekeeping continues to play a vital role in ensuring peace and security by protecting people and preventing human rights violations as a result of violence and war, as the international body celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2015”. Under the aegis of the United Nations, India has emerged as a leader in the shared task of establishing world peace and security. It has upheld UN objectives and taken on responsibility for delivering soldiers, financial assistance, and other peacekeeping needs. As a result, we can see how India's much-publicized participation in the UN Peacekeeping mission mirrors India's own aims and goals. The primary factors hindering India's ability to attain parity and raise its political opinions without relying on others are summarised in this essay on “India's Role in UN Peacekeeping Operations”. Our study comprised a fact check and predictive analysis of key records and data relevant to our study's goal, which helped us form conclusions about UN peacekeeping operations, growth opportunities, and potential problems.
