NON - ALIGNED MOVENENT

• India played an important role in the multilateral movements of colonies and newly independent countries that developed into the Non-Aligned Movement.

• Nonalignment had its origins in India's colonial experience and the nonviolent Indian independence struggle led by the Congress, which left India determined to be the master of its fate in an international system dominated politically by Cold War alliances and economically by Western capitalism and Soviet communism. 

•  Nonalignment was a consistent feature of Indian foreign policy by the late 1940s and enjoyed strong, almost unquestioning support among the Indian elite.

ANCIENT ARCHITECTURE

Modern architecture use steel infrastructure.

Ancient architecture had load bearing walls.

The interior columns carry most of the loading.

 They were of limited height, and accounted for the thicker walls.

This construction costs more.

They costs less when compared to the modern one.

They use more windows and steel.

These buildings have less or no windows and steel.
