Which one of the following was not a feature of India's foreign policy under Nehru?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

Jawaharlal Nehru, as India's first Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, established the foundations of India's foreign policy. The three core pillars were Non-alignment (avoiding military alliances with Cold War blocs), Panchsheel (the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence signed with China in 1954), and the promotion of global peace and decolonisation (supporting independence movements in Asia and Africa).

While Nehru championed Pan-Asianism and Afro-Asian solidarity (e.g., the 1947 Asian Relations Conference and the 1955 Bandung Conference), the specific focus on "Cooperation among people of the South Asian region" as a formal regional policy is associated with the later development of SAARC in 1985. During Nehru's time, foreign policy was characterized by a broader globalist and continentalist outlook rather than a specific South Asian regionalist framework, which was often hindered by bilateral tensions with Pakistan.
