Dr. N. Balban, Dr. B. Prabhakararao

Abstract :

 India’s military defeat in the Sino-Indian armed conflict of 1962 had a significant impact on the world view and strategic thinking of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Nehru’s daughter, who was India’s prime minister from 1966 to 1977 and from 1980 to 1984. Mrs. Gandhi was regarded by many as a pragmatist and shrewd person. She realized that India could deal with only from a position of strength. Her priorities were two; first to stabilize her position in the Party and the Government, and the second, to make the country militarily and economically strong. She was firm that India should avoid all military alliances even with small countries and should adhere strictly to the policy of non-alignment. She was also convinced that the best defense for the Asian countries against possible upheavals was ensuring economic development and social cohesion.
