...convinced. The Indian legislators sat in silence as the Soviet leader warmed to his subject, accusing the U.S. of "continuing to send armed gangs into Afghanistan," which thereby made it impossible for the Soviets to stop giving the Afghans "military assistance." This was disappointing news for Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who has been critical of the Soviet presence in Afghanistan, though she has maintained a consistently friendly attitude toward Moscow...

When Parliament reconvenes this week, Mrs. Gandhi will seek its formal approval of the law, which was imposed by executive fiat. During what is expected to be a bitter debate, opposition members will warn that, once again, Mrs. Gandhi is taking her country down the road to authoritarianism...
