Abstract
This paper explores India's non-military initiatives as a 'neutral power' during the Korean War (1950-53) and its aftermath (1947-1955). It examines India's role in the UN Temporary Commission on Korea (UNTCOK), its deployment of the 60th Parachute Field Ambulance (PFA), and its participation in the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission (NNRC) and Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission (NNSC). The paper argues that India's soft diplomacy strategically established a foundation for peacekeeping, despite complex relationships with the Soviet Union and China.
