The non-aligned movement was founded by Jeseph Broz Tito of former Yugoslavia, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and Jawaharlal Nehru of India. India, although a leader in the NAM, was aligned with USSR and USSR proved to be truly friendly with India and managed to help India even during the Bangladesh war. Now the world has become unipolar. After the demise of USSR, USA is the only superpower and the non-aligned movement has lost its relevance. India is now aligned to the USA and in reality there is no more non-alignment in the strict sense of the term. It is not true that India has been maintaining strict neutrality.

We should\'ve sent in about 500k troops over to Egypt & bailed out our NAM CORE ALLY. Then, NAM could be preserved.
Other than that, after the 1967 episode, NAM\'s reputation, and especially India\'s- got flushed down the tubes. And economically, EVERY SINGLE NAM effort was FULLY supported by Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia.
All we did in NAM was to make speeches. But when it came to bailing out our ALLIES we failed miserably. We hesitated to even take back GOA from Portugal for 10+ yrs after independence!!!!!
INdia didn\'t maintain neutrality \"all these years\"....we toed the Soviet line....and the Soviets defended us (but they did it non exploitatively which makes them better than the US). And today, we\'re ...more
