India. Well, India might have large population, but it lacks the prestige and importance of the current security council members.
Brazil is basically an unimportant state in the grand scheme of things.

Prestige and importance have ONLY to do with a UNSC veto. That was given to nations far more notorious than India. China. Why would a basketcase aggressive Maoist dictatorship, presumably worse than the North Korean one today have a veto over an India that was democratic, secular? Once the group was in place they made the cutoff period for the P5 (nuclear weapons states) before 1974..to include China in the scheme of things and exclude India by force.
Its stupid to say that the worlds largest democracy, 4th largest economy, 4th most powerful military, 7th largest country will be subject to whims and machinations of nations in the UNSC that that don't make these grades.
And as for you mentioning that grand scheme of things.. What is that grand scheme you envison without India, Brazil, Japan?
