Question
Suppose there had been no Cold War, how would that situation have affected India's foreign policy.
Solution
If the Cold War had not taken place and there were several major powers, it would have affected our foreign policy in the following manner:-
- NAM:- India would have adopted an independent foreign policy instead of remaining non-aligned. India would have joined hands with many likeminded powers for mutual benefit in various fields.
- Military Power:- Since the rivalry between many major powers would increase hatred and enmity, India would have been compelled to join the arms race to become a strong nation to defend its independence and sovereignty.
- India would have become a superpower in Asia because of her large territory, human resource and strategic location.
