Explanation:
The second phase (1962-71): Decade of Realism and Recovery
After the 1962 war, India made pragmatic choices on security and political challenges.
It looked beyond non-alignment in the interest of national security, concluding a now largely forgotten defence agreement with the US in 1964.
However, India faced external pressures on Kashmir (Tashkent agreement 1965) from the US and UK.
Through Tashkent agreement both India and Pakistan agreed to withdraw all armed forces to pre-war positions, to restore diplomatic relations; and to discuss economic, refugee, and other questions.
However, the agreement did not contain a no-war pact or any renunciation of Pakistan's aggression in Kashmir (as Pakistan was an ally of the US).
Therefore, India now started tilting towards USSR.
