India, having experienced colonialism and racism, strongly opposes these injustices and views them as threats to global peace and security. India was the first to address apartheid at the UN in 1946 and actively supported the independence movements in Indonesia and African countries through platforms like the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). India played a key role in fighting apartheid in South Africa, contributing generously to the NAM-established Africa Fund to support nations resisting South African aggression. The end of apartheid in 1990 marked a major success for India’s foreign policy. A fundamental aspect of India’s foreign policy is its commitment to peaceful political solutions for international disputes, a principle enshrined in the Indian Constitution and the UN Charter. India has been actively involved in resolving conflicts such as the Korean War, the Palestine issue, the Kashmir dispute, and border tensions with neighbors. Currently, India advocates for peaceful resolution of the Iranian nuclear issue and democratic movements in the Middle East, firmly opposing foreign military interventions. This commitment to peaceful diplomacy remains central to India’s international approach.
