Options:

He supported decolonization.

He believed in UN as a forum in which international conflicts could be settled.

He supported the cause of Asian solidarity.

He was against disarmament.

Correct Answer:

He was against disarmament.

Explanation:

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, decolonization, disarmament, and the UN as a forum in which international conflicts could be settled. India also took the initiative to bring about a universal and non-discriminatory non-proliferation regime in which all countries would have the same rights and obligations with respect to weapons of mass destruction (nuclear , biological, and chemical). It argued for an equitable New International Economic Order (NIEO).
