Conservation of Charge and Electrostatic Induction:
A charge can never be created nor it can be destroyed. The total amount of charge present in the system is conserved.
When we bring a positive charge near an uncharged object, then negative charges on the uncharged gets concentrated on the near side of the positive charge while the far end has more concentration of positive charges. The uncharged object still remains electrically neutral, as no charge is created.
