Jawaharlal Nehru and Non-Alignment
India Post issued two stamps on 7 March 1983, ₹1 and ₹2, for the Seventh Non-Aligned Summit at New Delhi, held until 11 March. India Post’s folder recalls the earlier summits at Belgrade (1961), Cairo, Lusaka, Algiers, Colombo and Havana, and the growth of the movement from twenty-five members at Belgrade to about a hundred. Nehru was one of the founders of the movement, with Tito of Yugoslavia and Nasser of Egypt, and Indira Gandhi chaired the New Delhi summit.
