...India," Indira Gandhi, daughter of India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, once observed, "is wholly true." Last week, in his capacity as president of the Foreign Correspondents Association of India, TIME's New Delhi Bureau Chief Donald S. Connery sat with officials of the Indian government to give his reporter's recommendations on press arrangements for President Eisenhower's imminent visit. Then, to escape distractions in both his office and at home, he slipped off to New Delhi's Ashoka Hotel to finish up a job that, by specific assignment, he had been working upon...
Behind closed doors Turkey's Foreign Minister Fatin Zorlu urged him to be "cautious and realistic" in his coming dealings with the Russians. Ike assured the Turks that U.S. willingness to negotiate with the U.S.S.R. did not mean that the U.S. would give ground. That evening, at a dinner in the presidential palace, the President of the U.S. paid his own unique tribute to the doughty land that had done him such honor.

Instead of shouts of "Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai!" (India and China are brothers). New Delhi's streets resounded with the clamor, "Give us arms! We will go to Ladakh!" The Red Chinese embassy was stoned, the All-India Students' Congress called for a "Throw Back the Aggressors Day," and India's Defense Minister made a radio appeal for volunteers for the Territorial Army. Even the normally pro-Communist weekly Blitz...
...above them. Suddenly, the thin, cold mountain air crackled with the discharge of rifles, hand grenades and 2-in. mortars. Scrambling from their rearing ponies, the Indians unslung their .303 rifles and returned the fire. But they were hopelessly trapped: the barren terrain lacked trees or boulders to give them cover, and they were being raked by crossfire. Only five Indians escaped. Nine were killed and ten wounded by the Red Chinese troops who had staged the ambush...
