After two days of bitter debate in New Delhi's Lok Sabha, the Indian Parliament last week approved Prime Minister Nehru's decision to accept a neutralist proposal for the settlement of India's Himalayan border dispute with Red China-provided that the Chinese also agree to the neutrals' plan in toto. Under the arrangement devised by the six nonaligned nations-Ghana, Egypt, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia and Ceylon-at the Colombo Conference last December, the Chinese will be forced to withdraw 12½ miles from the present cease-fire line in the northwestern Himalayas...

...Nehru soon forgot that vow, for it became obvious that Kashmir would vote either for independence or accession to Pakistan. Indian Kashmir's Moslem ruler, Sheik Mohammed Abdullah, an old friend of Nehru's and a fiery Kashmiri nationalist, confused things by starting to pro mote a local independence movement. India clapped Sheik Abdullah into jail in 1953 and introduced a series of repressive measures to halt other nationalist or pro-Pakistan movements. Except for three months in 1958, Sheik Abdullah has languished in prison ever since, was last week on trial on charges of conspiracy to overthrow...
