...received correctly but with a noticeable lack of enthusiasm, he responded with heavy-handed boasts about Soviet achievements and waspish attacks on the motives behind Western offers of economic aid. But his theme seemed dated in lands that have been independent for more than ten years. At a banquet in Calcutta he snapped, "I don't think all of you understand us correctly when we manifest a certain hotheadedness against the colonialists. Just as you don't understand us, neither can we understand you Indians. For so many ages you have been oppressed by colonialists, but still...
Prado and his wife Clorinda, 54, whom he married two years ago, arrived aboard a special Air France flight, and were met by Culture Minister Andre Malraux, who had delivered France's invitation while touring Latin America last year.
