After the Second World War, the entire world was divided into two opposite alliances. America was the leader of one alliance which was known as Western Bloc. U.S.S.R. was the leader of second alliance which was known as Eastern Bloc. Serious Cold War started between them. Military treaties and pacts like Nato and Warsah Pact have made situation more tense. India wanted to keep its own sovereignty and didn’t become the member of any group. That’s why India started Non-Aligned Movement with the help of other countries. Founders of this movement were Pt. Jawahar Lai Nehru, Tito of Ugoslavia and Nasir of Egypt.
Non-Aligned Movement started in 1961 A.D. It was based on principles of Panchsheel. All the members of this movement didn’t want to include themselves in any of the alliance. Its first conference held at Belgrade in 1961 A.D. It was started with 25 members but now it has more than 100 members.
