Detailed explanation-1: -(iii) India favoured active intervention in world affairs to soften Cold War rivalries. It, therefore, tried to reduce the differences between Russia and USA and prevented differences from escalating into a full-scale war. For example, India mediated in the Korean War in the early 1950s.
Detailed explanation-2: -For India, the concept of non-alignment began as a policy of non-participation in the military affairs of a bipolar world and in the context of colonialism aimed towards optimum involvement through multi-polar participation towards peace and security.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Non-Aligned Movement was formed during the Cold War, largely on the initiative of then-Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, as an organization of States that did not seek to formally align themselves with either the United States or the Soviet Union, but sought to remain independent or neutral.
Detailed explanation-4: -The founding countries of the NAM were India (Jawaharlal Nehru), Indonesia (Sukarno), Egypt (Gamal Abdel Nasser), Ghana (Kwame Nkrumah), and Yugoslavia (Josip Broz Tito). Cooperation, neutrality, and self-determination were the principal ideas of NAM.
