Abstract
India followed a non-aligned policy in the Cold War while America led the Western countries against Communism. When war began between Communist North Korea and non-Communist South Korea in 1950, India at first sided with America in condemning North Korean aggression. However, Indian and American policies concerning the war soon differed leading to deteriorating relations between the two countries. India believed that America changed its goal in the war from stopping North Korean aggression, which India supported, to uniting Korea by force, which India opposed. India felt American actions were largely responsible for Chinese intervention in the war. The American Government became upset by what it regarded as India's failure to appreciate the danger of Communist imperialism. The war did not make enemies of India and America, but it did reveal that they had important foreign policy differences, especially with regard to international Communism.
