WI: Entrance to the UNSC Permanent Seating was by Nuclear Capability?

I don't know if it is a good idea or not, but after checking out the Nuclear Weapons Program of India a bit and seeing Operation Smiling Buddha make them the first non-UNSC states to have made the Atom-Go-Boom. Suppose that for some reason (I don't know why...) the UNSC freaks out and gives India a permanent seat. do other nations go nuclear to get on, would it be an easy way to get the seat and can we sooner or later expect the seats to be given out like comic books on free comic book day?

[If you want to discuss the NNPT, go ahead, I just don't know whether it should be a part of the basis of this WI]
 
this sounds like it belongs in the ASB forum.

Unless India is willing to use its nuclear deterrent to blackmail the UN into letting it onto the SC i don't see this happening(you are talking about them being made permanent members like the US and Russia right?), and since most people who know the price of bananas knows that the UN is about as effective as abstinence-only sex-ed at preventing teen pregnancy, I don't see India wanting said SC seat badly enough to go that crazy.

Well, I'm sure that if they signed the NNPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) that they could get in. They don't have to go crazy and threaten someone. I know they're not in it right now, so I posted this on a site about Alternate History to see what would happen if they got on based on it being not a subtle idea to sign and be accepted. I mean, if the UNSC has publicly (and loudly ^_^) stated that India could get a permanent seat if they signed on, they might have went for it. It's not necessary to the discussion, maybe India gets it by signing individual treaties about not giving it to other nations with the UNSC Permanent members. I don't care why they get on, I want to see what happens when they get on.
 
Forget about India, Pakistan, Israel.

Imagine keeping Formosa on the council until the seventies, then replacing them with the PRC, while this qualification is on the 'books' (okay, I know a much later time period is given, I just wanted to make things interesting by bringing in the big boys of Cold War aggression, as opposed to those relative pacifists in New Delhi.)
