Revive NAM

Sir, - The recent U.S. safari in Afghanistan reminds me of the cold war era when the U.S. sent its so-called multilateral troops in many parts of Latin America. The U.S. Government is aware of evolving a policy to contain terrorism. In 1991, when I visited the U.S., I was shown around an Institute in Washington DC devoted to tackling terrorism. It is only after the Sept. 11 attacks, the U.S. realised that the dark shadows of terrorism could even eclipse it. Now they are mobilising international opinion against fighting terrorism, it is time India revived the NAM and articulate these concerns more effectively from the perspectives of the erstwhile third world concept.
