This work analyzes India’s foreign and nuclear policies during Nehru’s government (1947-1964). In this period, Nehru assumed a non-alignment policy which intended to keep India out of the typical bipolarity of the international system during the Cold War period, and defended the decreasing of inequality between nations as well as the pacification of international conflicts. Arguing the necessity to preserve national independence and to break ties with imperialism, the Indian leader created a nuclear weapons programme, in order to guarantee hat the
country would achieve an international
profile as a major future power.
