I'm not saying China does not deserve Veto, just saying, if China got Veto as late as in the 70s, then why did India not get the same? despite being, a Democratic, secular state, and at that time, even economically, India was doing better then the CCP.
Democratic; who cares? Two nations on it ain't and the YSSR not being democratic had more influence then India around the world. That is not a yardstick.

Secular; who cares? Communists had a state religion of sorts which bullied around the other faiths in their nation.

India wasn't on the orginal SC so that's why it ain't on it now and probably won't ever get on it. Plus the KMT was on the victors list as an independant nation while India was basically a colony.

The Philippines also fought but got no seat, plenty of nations got no seat after the war.

Before the allies entered, it would be taking China, but I believe after the allies entered the war, India was growing higher and higher on Japan's hitlist because India was the major resource centre for the allies. That is one reason for the Japanese to continue to Burma and beyond, their ultimate goal was India, and they did technically invade India by taking over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands from India, but they failed to get past Burma.
They had more troops in China then facing India. More Chinese died then Indians by a wide margin.
