Mrs. Indira Gandhi

B.

Lal Bahadur Shastri

C.

Morarji Desai

D.

Jawaharlal Nehru

Correct option is D

Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, played a crucial role in shaping the country's foreign policy after its independence in 1947. Nehru's vision for India's foreign relations was guided by the principles of non-alignment, peace, and anti-colonialism. He sought to keep India independent of the Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. This resulted in the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), a coalition of countries that did not wish to align with either of the two superpowers during the Cold War. Nehru’s foreign policy also emphasized decolonization, supporting newly independent countries in Africa and Asia. His approach laid the foundation for India’s focus on peaceful coexistence and multilateralism in its global interactions, which still influences Indian diplomacy today.
