India with Solution of some International and Regional Problems in the 1950s–1960s of the 20th Century (Part 1)

Abstract

This article examines the role and influence of India in solving international and regional issues taking place in the 1950s and 1960s. During this period, India, through a policy of conducting progressive and neutral diplomacy, emerged as an important mediator of the conflicting interests among the world’s great powers. For example, India played an important role in ending the Indochina War, and the Korean War, as well as acting as a mediator in the civil war in the Congo and helping to solve diplomatic issues related to the Egyptian nationalization of the Suez Canal. In order to examine these issues in more detail, the authors of this paper make use of original sources and relevant academic works published by scholars from academic institutions around the world. At the same time, the authors use two primary methods of historical science, including the historical method and the logical method, along with other methods such as analysis, synthesis, evaluation, statistics, and comparison. This study is intended to provide additional perspectives and understanding regarding India’s diplomatic policies during this period of the Cold War. The analyzed policies demonstrated India’s creativity and flexibility in its diversity of approaches in solving regional and international issues. Despite the effects and pressures of the bipolar order, India remained steadfast in its goals and basic principles of its diplomacy.
