Assertion [A]: In his speech, Nehru said, "For too long, we the people of Asia have been petitioners in Western courts".

Reason [R]: India, having been under British rule for approximately 200 years, was vocal in its opposition to colonialism and imperialism on global platforms.

• A. [A] and [R] are true but [R] is not the correct justification for [A].
• B. [A] and [R] are false.
• C. [A] and [R] are true and [R] is the correct justification for [A].
• D. [A] is true but [R] is false.

Answer 1

The correct option is C [A] and [R] are true and [R] is the correct justification for [A].

Nehru in a speech at the Asian Relations Conference said that "for too long, we the people of Asia have been petitioners in Western courts". India, being under British rule for approximately 200 years, knew the plight a nation faces under colonialism. Hence after gaining independence, it opposed colonialism and imperialism on a global platform.
