Who among the following leaders was not founder of 'Non Aligned Movement'?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 1:

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) was officially established in 1961 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, as a forum for developing countries that sought to avoid aligning with either the United States or the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The core mission was to maintain independence from the major power blocs. Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union until 1953, was the head of one of the very blocs (the Eastern Bloc, represented by the Warsaw Pact) that the NAM sought to remain independent from. Therefore, he could not have been a founder of the movement.

The incorrect option is 2: Gamal Abdel Nasser (referred to as Nasir in the option) was one of the principal founders of the Non-Aligned Movement. As the President of Egypt, he was instrumental in establishing the movement at the Bandung Conference in 1955 and the Belgrade Conference in 1961.

The incorrect option is 3: Josip Broz Tito, the President of Yugoslavia, was a key visionary and co-founder of the Non-Aligned Movement. He hosted the first NAM summit in Belgrade in 1961 and played a central role in articulating the concept of non-alignment.

The incorrect option is 4: Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, is widely recognized as one of the chief architects and founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement. His policy of "positive neutrality" laid the philosophical groundwork for India's participation in the movement.
