>> #NAM Non-alignment, initially a posture of neutrality during the #ColdWar, evolved into implicit support for the #USSR. This movement, born from the desire … not to align themselves with the blocs, was influenced by leaders such as [#India's] #Nehru and [#Egypt's] #Nasser.

Also #Yugoslavia's Josip Broz #Tito, who served as the leader of the #NonAlignedMovement.

#US doctrine was same during Cold War as it was with #GeorgeWBush: "You're either with us or with #terrorists"

>> India is strengthening its ties with Russia, including through record energy deals. This growing dependence could complicate its relations with the West…

Historically #India has had closer ties with #Russia than #US, despite its official membership in the #NonAlignedMovement #NAM as a state that didn't formally align with the US or USSR and sought to remain independent, but that is changing. Obviously all countries do what's best in their self-interest

Encyclopedia BritannicaNon-Aligned Movement (NAM) | Definition, Mission, & Facts | BritannicaNon-Aligned Movement (NAM), international organization dedicated to representing the interests and aspirations of developing countries. The NAM was founded and held its first conference in 1961 under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Jawaharlal Nehru, Kwame Nkrumah, and Sukarno.

Fascinating explanation of how the Non-Aligned Movement began. The NAM is the largest grouping of nations worldwide after the UN.

This forum of now 120 countries, was founded with the goal of advancing the interests of developing countries in the context of the Cold War.

In a world that was binary, either USA or USSR, NAM nations chose not to formally align with or against either of the major power blocs.
