Non Alignment Movement
Non Alignment Movement
It was due to India’s non-aligned posture that she could play such a
significant role in bringing an end to the wars in North and South
Korea by playing the role of a peace-maker. India in those days
also played an important part in the solution of other disputes like
Congo, Cyprus, Arab-Israel, etc.
India also formed the five golden principles of Panchsheel for the
practical implementation, of the policy of non-alignment. In these
five principles India preached the policy of non-aggression, non-
interference in the internal affairs of one-another, a basis of
equality and mutual benefit, respect for one-another's territorial
integrity and sovereignty and peaceful co-existence. India's policy
of non-alignment also consisted of the prin-ciples of anti-
imperialism and anti-colonialism. All through India advanced the
cause of the people suffering under the colonial rule in Asia, Africa
and elsewhere. Another important principle of non-alignment has
been anti-racialism and the elimination of wars in the world.
