Question

when did India adopt non alignment policy

Answer 1

The term "Non-Alignment" was coined by Jawaharlal Nehru in his speech in 1954 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) was created and founded during the collapse of the colonial system and the independence struggles of the peoples of Africa, Asia, Latin America and other regions of the world and at the height of the Cold War.

During the early days of the Movement, its actions were a key factor in the decolonization process, which led later to the attainment of freedom and independence by many countries and peoples and to the founding of tens of new sovereign States.

Throughout its history, the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries has played a fundamental role in the preservation of world peace and security.
