Traditionally,
India
was
always
against
imperialism
as
because
she
had
the
bitter
experience
of
colonial
rule.
That
was
why
India
shook
off
all
pressure
from
within
and
without
and
remained
non-aligned.
Moreover,
from
the
core
of
his
heart
Nehru
believed
that
both
the
ideologies
capitalism
and
communism
have
some
good
qualities
and
merits
and
as
such
it
would
be
unjust
to
accept
one
and
discard
the
other.
Hence
through
his
policy
of
non-alignment
he
wanted
to
bring
solidarity
among
the
people
of
India
who
had
different
religious
faith,
language,
culture
and
life
style.
His
adherence
to
the
policy
of
non-alignment
thus
served
the
purpose
of
national
integration.
Nehru
was
against
all
military
alliances
balance
of
power
and
mad
rush
for
exhibiting
military
strength.
Hence
he
declared
that
the
policy
of
non-alignment
came
to
signify
a
refusal
to
be
mere
political
and
economic
appendages
of
the
centers
of
military,
political
and
economic
power.
We
are
in
no
camp,
he
said,
'and
in
no
military
alliance.
The
only
camp
we
should
like
to
be
in
is
the
camp
of
peace
which
should
include
as
many
countries
as
possible.'
Hence
he
stood
against
the
principles
of
imperialism
colonialism
non-colonialism
and
the
apartheid
policy.
At
that
time,
the
apartheid
policy
followed
by
the
South
African
government
run
by
the
white
people
had
created
great
commotion
throughout
the
world.
Instead
he
had
dreamt
of
creating
Asian
unity
and
it
was
for
him
that
the
first
Asian
States
Conference
held
in
India.
In
order
to
make
cordial
relationship
with
China
he
had
propagated
jointly
with
China
the
ideology
of
Panchashila'
which
categorically
declared
that
it
would
be
the
duty
of
the
Asian
states
to
extend
mutual
respect
for
the
geographical
unity
and
sovereignty
of
the
other
state
not
to
interfere
into
the
internal
affairs
of
the
other
state,
to
respect
equality
of
all,
to
extend
mutual
advantages
and
to
promote
peaceful
co-existence.
It
was
mainly
on
his
initiative
the
Asian
countries
met
in
the
Bandung
Conference.
His
policy
of
non-alignment
soon
received
so
much
appreciation
from
the
newly
emancipated
Afro-Asian
and
Latin-American
countries
that
joined
it
unhesitatingly.
Soon
it
took
the
shape
of
a
movement
the
nonaligned
movement
(NAM)
which
even
be
two
powerful
blocks
of
capitalism
and
communism
of
USA
and
USSR
respectively
had
to
respect.
The
movement
was
headed
by
Nehru,
Tito
and
Naser
and
it
aimed
at
democratizing
the
international
relation
and
to
establish
equality
based
state
order
of
high
standard.
