In which way did the policy of Non-Alignment serve India’s interests?

Solution

Non-aligned posture served India’s interests in at least two ways:

(i) Non-alignment allowed India to take international decisions and stances that served its interests rather than the interests of the superpowers and their allies.
(ii) India was often able to balance one superpower against the other. If India felt ignored or unduly pressurized by one superpower, it could tilt towards the other, neither alliance system could take India for granted.
