Summary Note of this Document
 |
The study explores how Jawaharlal Nehru's personal influence shaped India's foreign policy in its early years. It underscores the absence of institutional constraints on Nehru's authority and the widespread agreement across political parties on core foreign policy tenets, such as non-alignment and anti-colonialism. The analysis further examines how Nehru's perspectives defined India's international relations, while noting the criticism he faced, particularly following the 1962 Sino-Indian conflict.
