Explain nehru's view on foreign policy with special reference to panchsheel?
Answers
Abstract
The law of nations was not concocted by ‘bookworms’, ‘jurists’ or ‘professors’, but was created and elaborated by the deeds of statesmen, diplomats, generals, and admirals.1 This statement of the celebrated English jurist, Professor Holland, appears very much true, when attention is given to the achievements of the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru. Being a world statesman, he projected India's constitutional vision of international order, which reflects in the doctrine of Panchsheel, as five principles of peace.
Explanation:
After 1927 Nehru took an active part in formulating the foreign policy which was Congress' first foreign policy statement. It contained a declaration that India should not participate in imperialism and any other war. This position was taken up as the key foreign policy principle in the late 1920s and 1930s.
