Option 1- An important component of India’s security strategy has been to strengthen international norms and international institutions to protect its security interests.
Option 2- India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, supported the cause of Asian solidarity, decolonisation and disarmament.
Option 3- India took the initiative to bring about a local and discriminatory nonproliferation regime in which all countries would have different rights and obligations with respect to weapons of mass destruction. (INCORRECT)
Option 4- India had argued for an equitable New International Economic Order (NIEO).

CORRECTION IN OPTION 3: India also took initiative to bring about a universal and non-discriminatory nonproliferation regime in which all countries would have the same rights and obligations with respect to weapons of mass destruction.

The second component of India’s security strategy has been to strengthen international norms and international institutions to protect its security interests. India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, supported the cause of Asian solidarity, decolonisation, disarmament, and the UN as a forum in which international conflicts could be settled. India also took initiative to bring about a universal and non-discriminatory nonproliferation regime in which all countries would have the same rights and obligations with respect to weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, biological, chemical). It argued for an equitable New International Economic Order (NIEO). Most importantly, it used non-alignment to help carve out an area of peace outside the bloc politics of the two superpowers. India joined 160 countries that have signed and ratified the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which provides a roadmap for reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases to check global warming. Indian troops have been sent abroad on UN peacekeeping missions in support of cooperative security initiatives.
