Option 3 "Current Affairs" is the correct option.
Explanation:
Option 3 "Current Affairs"
Significant improvement in Indo-US relations went relatively unnoticed. However, following the events of September 2001 and US operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere, the relationship has assumed a degree of importance, it is argued, that will impact the future strategic environment in the Asia-Pacific region.
India's perception of itself has been that of a country that is destined to achieve the status of a major power. This was evident in the global outlook of its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, the architect of India's post-independence foreign policy. This attempt at non-alignment was not so much as an attempt to 'align' India with the Soviet Union not to enter the Western coalition system. So India, along with other like-minded newly independent countries, adopted a policy of not aligning itself with any power bloc. The countries in this loose-fitting group eventually formed the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which formally met for the first time in 1961.
Although this gave India a high profile internationally, it was not supported by military and economic might. This policy was tested in the conflict with China (1962) and found to be seriously flawed. A decade later, India's victory in the 1971 war with Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh signaled a change in India's foreign policy: its security goals are now at the fore.
