For India, non-alignment conceptually started out as a policy of non-participation in the military affairs' of a bipolar world and in the context of colonialism, it did not mean passivity or neutrality and instead aimed towards optimum involvement through multipolar participation towards peace and security.[1] It meant that a country should be able to preserve a certain amount of freedom of action internationally. Without any set definition for what non alignment meant, the meaning of the term varied from statesman to statesman, situation to situation and country to county, making the phrase dynamic, evolving and relevant.[2] The overall aims and principles however found consensus among the movement members overtime.[3] However, nonaligned countries could rarely attain the freedom of judgement they desired, their actual behaviour towards objectives of the movement such as social justice and human rights were unfulfilled in many cases, and in certain cases their actions, including that of India's, resembled the action of an aligned country.[4]
