Why was Nato needed?
NATO was founded after World War II, when the western countries wanted to unite in view of the threat from the Soviet Union (USSR). Its purpose was to prevent communism from spreading and protect Western countries.
Why is India not a member of NATO?
The answer is associated with historical, political and strategic perspectives.
🇮🇳 Why is India not included in NATO?
1. Geographical limitations of NATO
NATO is a North Atlantic Regional Organization, whose membership is mostly limited to countries in Europe and North America.
India is not geographically part of the region.
🔹 NATO was established for collective defense of the North Atlantic region.
2. Non -Aligned Movement - NAM policy
India neither decided to join the US -led group at the time of Cold War, nor in the Soviet Union faction.
🔸 India played an important role in establishing the NAM in 1961.
🔸 Therefore, India kept distance from military alliances like NATO.
3. Independent Foreign Policy
India always independent and multilateral (independent)
