The Antarctic Treaty keeps the peace down there, no weapons, just science, and the Madrid Protocol protects its fragile environment. India earned its consultative seat through consistent polar research—those Dakshin Gangotri and Maitri stations proved our serious intent. But as a claimant, I see this 'consultative' status for non-claimants as a clever way to have a say in a continent where others, like us, hold historic rights. It reminds me of the new mall on the highway—they follow all the rules, but their very presence changes the game for those of us who were here first.
