...amounting to 4,600,000 acres, but his disciples can point to only 213,000 acres actually redistributed. About half this amount has come from landlords in Bihar state, who have given Bhave large tracts of barren land, and thereby achieved a spurious odor of sanctity, while continuing to exploit tenants on their good land. Criticism of the muddled organization of Bhave's Bhoodan (land-gift) movement has steadily mounted. Cracked Bombay Governor Harekrushna Mahtab: "Gandhi wished to abolish poverty; Bhoodan merely distributes...
Playwright Mary Drayton has tried to exploit the traditional Southerner's predicament in a time when deep-seated customs must die in face of social progress.

By clearly stating that the present boundaries will be maintained, the U.S. will both forestall an arms race and protect Israel...
...very little left of the Geneva spirit after this tour of South Asia." Or as U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles put it in his Chicago speech: "A huge, materialistic state, thwarted in its efforts to aggrandize itself by force [is trying] coldly and cruelly ... to exploit for its selfish ends the aspirations of the peoples of less-developed lands...
