1. Which country does India support on the issue of the Chagos Archipelago in line with its stand on decolonization?
India has expressed its support for Mauritius regarding the Chagos Archipelago issue, aligning with its stance on decolonization. The Chagos Archipelago, an overseas territory of the United Kingdom, has been a point of contention, with Mauritius asserting its claim over the islands since gaining independence in 1968. The International Court of Justice ruled in 2019 that the UK's governance of the Chagos Islands was unlawful and called for its withdrawal.
