Indian foreign policy is __________________.

• A. To work in co-operation with Russians only
• B. To oppose both Russia and U.S.A. only
• C. To oppose both Russia and U.S.A. for everything
• D. To co-operate with the Non-aligned countries

Answer 1

The correct option is D To co-operate with the Non-aligned countries

The principles of Indian foreign policy were the preservation of India's freedom of action internationally through refusal to align India with any bloc or alliance, particularly those led by the United States or the Soviet Union and also nonviolence and international cooperation as a means of settling international disputes. Non alignment was a consistent feature of Indian foreign policy by the late 1940’s and enjoyed strong, almost unquestioning support among the Indian elite.
