General KnowledgeHistory of India
- AKwame Nkrumah
- BGamal Abdel Nasser
- CJawaharlal Nehru
- DFidel Castro
Explanation
The formative leadership of the Non-Aligned Movement at the 1961 Belgrade summit comprised Jawaharlal Nehru (India), Gamal Abdel Nasser (Egypt), Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana), Josip Broz Tito (Yugoslavia) and Sukarno (Indonesia). Fidel Castro was not in this founding core — Cuba joined NAM later, and Castro only became its chairman at the 1979 Havana summit. Hence Castro was not in the core leadership in NAM's formative phase.
