Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention. Read carefully.

After the partition and independence of India in 1947, India’s role as pivot for security in Asia slipped away for two reasons: ideological and geopolitical. Ideologically, the Indian leadership under its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, rejected the power politics that they saw reminiscent of a bygone, imperialistic era; nonetheless, by envisioning a major role for India in the non-aligned movement, Nehru did not reject the concept of India as a major player in world affairs. His daughter, Indira Gandhi, was less idealistic, but most of her attention focused on domestic issues and when it did come to power politics, on South Asia.  Geopolitically, independent India found itself in a very different situation than British India, despite occupying most of the same territory. First, economically, it was weaker and no longer backed by a global financial empire. Its limited resources, moreover, were channelled mostly into development and domestic spending rather than an international security apparatus. Second, India had no need initially to maintain the same posture as the British geopolitically.

How was independent India different from British India ?

1). Its limited resources were not channeled into an international security apparatus
2). It did not have a need to be backed by a global financial empire
3). Independent India grew stronger economically after the partition
4). There were no changes as they both occupied almost the same region
