Solution
Jawahar Lai Nehu was one of the four founder architects of NAM. His contribution to the movement is very significant. He enumerated the Panchsheel principles on which NAM is based. From the begining, Nehru opposed supporting any power bloc and insisted on judging every incident according to its merits. Nehru called for an Asian Relation conference even before India gained her independence, where he stressed the need for Asian co-operation. This was the precursor of NAM.
