Answer:
astate of political hostility between charaecterized by threats and other measure shorts of walfare is called cold war .
Explanation:
India was a non-aligned member during cold war. It means India was neither on the side of USA nor Soviet Union. This was for official purposes, which enabled us to avoid giving away our land or resources to the Soviets or Americans (which they could use as a military base and eventually also make India as their vassal). Having said that, unofficially India fully supported Soviet Union. Soviet Union protected India from the onslaught of USA, during the India Pakistan war of 1971. The indo-soviet pact during 1971 was spearheaded by PM Indira Gandhi. Further, India cooperated and collaborated greatly with the Soviet Union in the fields of defense, manufacturing industries, medicine, nuclear energy, science among others, however India was never a direct party to the cold war standoff between USA and Soviet Union.
