If there is one single gain from the Non-Aligned Movement Summit that was held just 10 days ago in Kuala Lumpur, it is the reconfirmation of the continued relevance of the movement and the need for unity among its members for adapting itself to the changing realities of international environment, writes PROF DR BALADAS GHOSHAL.  

NAM was devised by its original proponents, Nehru, Nasser, Tito and Sukarno, as a means to an end – disarmament, development and autonomy of decision-making in the context of the cold war and a world characterised by bipolarity.
