Answer:
The period after the second world war saw the rise of two power blocs- US and USSR and the emergence of Cold war between them which was an ideological warfare between the two, with both countries extending their influence by forming alliances. India, in such a scenario, which had just gained independence from the colonial yoke, thus declared to follow an Independent foreign policy and adopted a policy of Non Alignment with either of the power blocs.
India's Reasons for Non Alignment
- India felt aligning with any of the power blocs would aggravate international tension, rather than promote peace. Therefore, a policy of non alignment would help in reducing tension and would prevent the outbreak of another war.
- A newly independent country, India did not want to part with its independent sovereign status and wanted to take independent decisions.
- A policy of non alignment was in tune with India's traditional policy policy of tolerance, peace and harmony.
- India wanted to play a pro active role in maintaining international peace and security.
Thus. non alignment formed the bedrock of our foreign policy.
India, declared the following aspects of Non alignment which were:
- It is an independent foreign policy and is anti-military alliances.
- It does not favour the inception of military basis on Indian soil or in any other non-aligned country.
- It caters to the concept of World Peace.
- It stands for friendly relations with all nations.
- Non alignment does not mean being neutral or isolation from World Affairs. It means playing an active role in mediating between the power blocs.
