Many times the fault has lain with the United States, which sought to comprehend international politics in terms only of "for" and "against." But with the last week Nehru's India has behaved in a manner as inconsistent by her own standards as it is unfriendly by ours, and her U.N. voting record on Hungary is a disappointment most of all to those who had esteemed Nehru highly...

Vivekananda injected a new sense of social responsibility by stressing Hinduism's teaching that God is in every man. Mahatma Gandhi (whom Agnostic Nehru once called "terribly Hindu") showed India how practical and effective religion could be even in the field of politics. Nehru carried on Gandhi's social reforms, introducing laws that sheared away the encumbrances of caste and custom that held Hinduism mired in the past. Thus freed, modern Hinduism...
