While promoting cooperation was part of India’s broader foreign policy, a specific focus on ‘Cooperation among people of the South Asian region’ as a defining feature under Nehru was not as prominent as Panchsheel, Non-alignment, and advocating for peace and decolonisation. Nehru’s policy focused more on non-alignment with power blocs, anti-colonialism, and global peace initiatives. Regional cooperation specifically within South Asia gained more structured importance later.
Nehruvian foreign policy was characterized by Non-Alignment, Panchsheel (peaceful coexistence), and strong support for decolonisation and world peace.
India under Nehru played a key role in the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and advocated for a multipolar world order, focusing on solidarity with newly independent nations in Asia and Africa. While neighbourly relations were important, the formal emphasis on ‘South Asian regional cooperation’ emerged more significantly in the 1980s with the formation of SAARC.

Continental shelves are gently sloping underwater extensions of continents, known for shallow depths and abundant marine life.
Continental shelves are important for fishing grounds due to their biological productivity and are significant sources of oil and gas reserves. They also accumulate large amounts of sediment, forming stores of sand and gravel. Submarine canyons are steep-sided valleys cut into the seabed.
