...recent and wise move, the English Department voted to end the discrete, or building-block, approach to literature which permitted non-honors men to get a degree simply by accumulating, magpie-style, a collection of unrelated courses.

In some areas, untouchables were even forced to give warning of their contaminating approach along the road. Last week India's Constituent Assembly took a step (still to be implemented) that Congress Party leaders and Indian Christians have long campaigned for: it passed a resolution officially outlawing the obsolescent practice of "untouchability" and its ancient affront to the human spirit...
