\nThe correct answer is A) Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) – Founder Member.
\n<\/section>\n
\nLet’s examine each statement regarding India’s position:
\nA) Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) – Founder Member: Incorrect. India became a full member of the SCO in 2017, along with Pakistan. The founder members are China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
\nB) Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) – Observer Member: Incorrect. India is neither a member nor an official observer of APEC. India has expressed interest in joining APEC, but there has been a moratorium on new members since 1997.
\nC) East Asia Summit (EAS) – Member: Correct. India is a founding member of the East Asia Summit, which was established in 2005.
\nD) Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) – Founder Member: Correct. India is a founding member of the AIIB and is the second-largest shareholder.
\nBoth statements A and B are incorrect. However, A is often highlighted as India’s status changed from observer to full member recently (2017), while B describes a status India has never held. In the context of testing knowledge about specific international bodies, claiming ‘Founder Member’ status when the country joined much later as a full member is a clear factual error about historical status. Option A is the intended incorrect statement.
\n<\/section>\n
\nIndia’s membership in various regional and international organizations reflects its growing global engagement and strategic priorities. Understanding the level of India’s participation (founder, full member, observer, dialogue partner) in key bodies is important for international relations topics.
