Answers
Answer:
Nehru's policy of neutrality paved the way for the establishment of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). India facilitated the involvement of former colonies and newly independent countries into the organization which aimed to protect the interests of undeveloped nations in international politics.
After the second world war there were two major powers-Firmer USSR and USA the rivalry between these two led to a war called the cold war and both powers tried to draw these newly independent countries to their respective blocs.India wished to not ally itself with either because it was aware of the high price if military involvement...Non aligment means remaking independent of military and political groups while taking part in promoting world peace
Hope it helps :)
