Like Mafatlal, other young Indians have entered new fields by associating with foreign companies. Keshub Mahindra, 42 (University of Pennsylvania '47), controls 15 companies that make, among other goods, Jeeps in conjunction with Kaiser, tractors with International Harvester, and elevators with Otis Elevator. Hari Nanda, 48, of New Delhi makes everything from railroad couplers to razor blades, is now manufacturing arm tractors designed in India with French engines and Polish transmissions, as well as a baby tractor priced at $1,000, the cost of three teams of bullocks...
India's modernized businessmen also believe strongly in charities and community aid. Hari Nanda, along with setting up medical programs for his employees, awards college scholarships to their children. The Mafatlals have set one-quarter of their assets aside as a foundation to help schools and hospitals, and have given $1,500,000 for a science and technology museum in Bombay.

The files of West German intelligence agencies turned up not the slightest shred of evidence that she had worked for the East. And in CBC radio and TV interviews, the heavily mascaraed East German refugee made it abundantly clear that there was no love lost between...
...been erected. As Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Soviet Premier Kosygin and scores of other foreign dignitaries watched, the priests sprinkled Shastri with rose petals and stacked sandalwood logs across his white-shrouded body. A torch of thin twigs was handed to Shastri's eldest son, 32-year-old Hari Krishnan. According to custom, he walked three times around his father's body, then put the flame to the pyre. Priests poured on ghee and incense. Within seconds, the flames erupted, illuminating the wisp of white under the logs. Soon all was ashes...
