THIS IS A QUOTE FROM PRIME MINISTER NEHRU ON HIS POLICY OF NONALIGNMENT. YOU MUST KNOW THIS POLICY.


"The preservation of peace forms the central aim of India's policy. It is in the pursuit of this policy that we have chosen the path of nonalinement [nonalignment] in any military or like pact of alliance. Nonalinement does not mean passivity of mind or action, lack of faith or conviction. It does not mean submission to what we consider evil. It is a positive and dynamic approach to t such problems that confront us. We believe that each country has not only the e right to freedom but also to decide its own policy and way of life. Only thus can true freedom flourish and a people grow according to their own genius

We believe, therefore, in nonaggression and non­interference by one country in the affairs of another and the growth of tolerance between them and the capacity for peaceful coexistence. We think that by the free exchange of ideas and trade and other contacts between nations each will learn f rom the other and truth will prevail. We therefore endeavor to maintain friendly relationS with all countries, even though we may disagree with them in their policies or structure of government. We think that by this approach we can serve not only our country but also the larger causes of` peace and good ; fellowship in the world."
