Solution

The correct option is A 1953
V Krishna Menon coined the term 'Non-Alignment' during his speech at the UN in 1953. This policy implied that countries involved would not align with either of the blocs, led by the US and the USSR, respectively. It also meant maintaining friendly relations with both the blocs. As a result of this, India's foreign policy was largely independent. Any decisions on international issues were taken purely on the basis of merit.
