Maybe. I confess that I do not know enough to judge them. Nonetheless, I've always felt that the Non-Alignment policy we followed back then cause more harm than good. And then eventually tried to curry favour with the wrong side.
Had India decided to align with USA back then, probably a lot of problems this region faced and faces today could've been avoided to some extent. And it's not as if we're not doing that now.
Better late than never I guess.
