Assess the major consequences of the disintegration of USSR on India.

The disintegration of USSR was caused due to the internal weakness and poor structure that did not meet the aspirations of the people. The government focused on the production of military weapons instead of the basic needs of the citizens. Since it was a communist party, it was not held accountable by the people for their actions. Thus, USSR disintegrated creating a huge impact globally.

The major consequences of this disintegration on the rest of the world are:

The Cold War came to an end between the superpowers.

All the military powers were abolished and a new demand for peace arose.

Many new countries emerged with individual choices

The US became a superpower and the ideology of communism was replaced with capitalism

World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) were set up to provide economic support to the countries and help them to recover from the after-effects of the Second World War.

The major consequences of the disintegration of USSR on India are:

India lost its support from the USSR. The world had now shifted from a multipolar to a bipolar system.

Now, India had to make serious efforts to improve its relationship with the US.

India was not sure if Russia would support on the Kashmir issue.

It had to focus more on improving its economic and technological strength to survive in this unipolar world.
