Which of the following statement is incorrect in the context of the period immediately after the second world war?

Following the policy of Non Alignment,  India joined public condemnation when the USSR invaded Hungary, .

The correct answer is Option 3 - Following the policy of Non Alignment,  India joined public condemnation when the USSR invaded Hungary.

While India was a leader of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), its historical response to the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956 is often cited as a point of contention and a departure from its usual stance on anti-colonialism and sovereignty.

NCERT: "Just as both internal and external factors guide the behaviour of ann individual or a family, both domestic and international environmentn influence the foreign policy of a nation. The developing countriesn lack the required resources to effectively advocate their concerns in  the international system. So they pursue more modest goals than  the advanced states. They focus more on peace and development in their own neighbourhood. Moreover, their economic and security  dependence on the more powerful states occasionally influences  their foreign policy. In the period immediately after the Second world war, many developing nations chose to support the foreign policy  preferences of the powerful countries who were giving them aid or  credits.  This resulted in the division of countries of the world into two clear camps. One was under the influence of the United States and its western allies and the other was under the influence of the then Soviet Union. There was also the experiment called Non- Aligned Movement in which India had played an important role....

The foreign policy of independent India vigorously pursued the dream of a peaceful world by advocating the policy of non-alignment, by reducing Cold war tensions and by contributing human resources to the UN peacekeeping operations. You might ask why India did not join either of the two camps during the Cold war era. India wanted to keep away from the military alliances led by US and Soviet Union against each other. During the Cold war, the US-led North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the Soviet-led warsaw pact came into existence. India advocated non-alignment as the ideal foreign policy approach. This was a difficult balancing act and sometimes the balance did not appear perfect. In 1956 when Britain attacked Egypt over the Suez Canal issue, India led the world protest against this neo-colonial invasion. But in the same year when the USSR invaded Hungary, India did not join its public condemnation. Despite such a situation, by and large India did take an independent stand on various international issues and could get aid and assistance from members of both the blocs."
