Volume : I, Issue : XI, December - 2011 MARCH OF INDIA'S ForeignPOLICY FROM IDEALISM TO REALISM Uma Chatterji Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : In Nehru era our foreign policy was based on the principles of good faith and mutual trust.
During Mr. Lal Bhadur Shastri's tenure our relations with Pakistan and USA were based on practical
and realistic approach.
India's victory in 1965 war with Pakistan without the foreign help had exhalted the image of Mr.
Shastri as a successful practical diplomat. This victory had washed out the defeat of 1962 war with China.
Now India had emerged as a powerful nation in South Asia. Mr. Shastri had given a blow to the US diplomacy
and developed confidence in the military morale along with Indian citizens. Giveing blow to the Pakistan's
misunderstanding that India is militarily a weak nation. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Uma Chatterji, (2011). MARCH OF INDIA'S ForeignPOLICY FROM IDEALISM TO REALISM. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. I, Issue. XI, http://oldisrj.lbp.world/UploadedData/589.pdf References :
