| description | Immediately after independence, India joined the Non-Aligned Movement
(NAM), which allowed it to avoid having to take sides with either of the then-existing
two political-military blocs led by the US and the USSR. India under Jawaharlal Nehru,
guided in foreign policy by principles derived from the traditions of Indian civilization,
was not even able to anticipate and prevent China's aggression in 1962. Nehru's
idealistic approach adopted by the Congress Party failed to ensure the permanence of
power, and in 2014 the conservative-nationalist Indian People's Party (Bharatiya Janata
Party) won the election, taking India's sovereignty and national interest as its supreme
political imperative. The purpose of this article is to explain how the BJP government is
striking a balance between India's traditional NAM-based strategic culture and growing
defense ties with the US in the Indo-Pacific region. Therefore, it was necessary to
present the evolution of Indian politics from radical non-alignment, grounded in the
traditional value of non-violence (ahinsa), to so-called strategic autonomy. |
