...Marwar region, a desert area of rugged hills and parched climate that is one of India's poorest areas. To escape this fate, Marwaris began emigrating to the city three generations back, becoming small shopkeepers in Calcutta or Bombay.

In the Senate, Austin was an outspoken internationalist who championed lend-lease in 1941 with a thunderously applauded oration: "I say that a world enslaved to Hitler is worse than war, and worse than death." Appointed to the U.N. by Harry Truman, he was a rough-and-ready adversary of Soviet propaganda efforts. His most dramatic hour came in 1950 when he answered Moscow's attempt to charge the U.S. with aggression in Korea. Austin held...
