Abstract

India could not be a passive onlooker of the Indochina War since it involved many basic principles of its foreign policy principles such as its opposition to colonialist and neo-colonialist activities of Western powers in Asia and the relevance of non-alignment as a diplomatic tool to ensure peaceful coexistence. India emerged as a force of proposals to reckon with in the search for a peaceful settlement between the contending parties before and during the Geneva Conference. In spite of adverse developments, the application of the Geneva agreements assumed great importance as they represented a validation of India's approach to crisis resolution. The article focuses on the reasons underlying India's intervention, an analysis of its interests and the view taken by other international players of this activism.
