Foreign Policy of India by Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru

Dr. Mani Bansal

Abstract


India’s foreign policy was lead from 1947 to 1964 under the supervision of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India. He is considered to be the sole architect of modern India. Apart from his careful handling of India's wild domestic situation in the years immediately after the Independence, Nehru's major involvement lies in the field of foreign policies. Although Nehru determined India's international profile as the foreign minister of India; still his foreign policy has been made subject to much controversy and debate, like his economic policies. In the perspective of India's newly found status as a democratic republic, Nehru's foreign affairs policies seem to be tremendously apt.
