Question

Was the Indo – Soviet Treaty of Friendship of 1971 against the principles of
non-alignment?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indo–Soviet Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation was a treaty signed between India and the Soviet Union in August 1971 that specified mutual strategic cooperation. That was a significant deviation from India's previous position of non-alignment during the Cold War and was a factor in the 1971 Indo-Pakistani war.
