A Correct answer
Explanation

India became a UN member in 1945, before gaining independence in 1947. As a founding member, India signed the UN Charter on June 26, 1945, in San Francisco. India was then a British colony but represented at the founding conference. Many confuse this with 1947 (independence year) or 1950 (Republic year). The 1945 date reflects India's early international engagement even pre-independence. India has since been an active UN member, participating in peacekeeping and serving on the Security Council multiple times.
