Practice questions

Q1Given below are two statements: Statement (I): The first Prime Minister of India wished to achieve the objectives of foreign policy through the strategy of non-alignment. Statement (II): India was never trying to convince the other developing countries about the policy of non-alignment. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

A Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
B Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
C Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
D Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation

Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, treated non-alignment as a central strategy for pursuing India’s foreign-policy objectives after independence, so the first statement is correct. The second statement is wrong because India did actively argue for non-alignment among newly independent and developing countries, especially in the wider Afro-Asian and Non-Aligned Movement context. Therefore the combinations saying the first statement is incorrect, that both statements are correct, or that both are incorrect do not fit the historical substance of India’s foreign policy.
