...East is supposed to represent spiritual civilization, and the West, a materialistic one . . . It is very humiliating for an Oriental like myself to read that John Foster Dulles of materialistic America is championing the cause of moral and spiritual principles, whereas Jawaharlal Nehru of spiritual India is advocating the adoption of political expedience in the realm of international politics. Can it be that India has degenerated spiritually so low as to copy the Machiavellian practices of the Western nations? . . . No one can be too proud of the role that Nehru has played in the struggle between Democracy and Communism...
Brandy & Soda. Upon the fairness of the Indians on the scene now lie the precarious hopes of the P.W.s, for as the weeks go by, the clauses in the armistice terms and the hostile attitude of India's Prime Minister Nehru seem more and more stacked against the anti-Communist prisoners. Handsome, husky Lieut. General K. S. Thimayya, 47, chairman of the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission, was one of the first Indians to get into Sandhurst, Britain's West Point; he was the first Indian officer to command a brigade in World War II.

Andhra was specifically designed to fit the largest block of Telegu-speaking people-some 20 millions-into one state. Nehru feared this would set a trend towards the Balkanization of the Indian Republic along the lines of India's 15 languages, 250 dialects. Five...
...think they can undermine the smaller states more easily than the large. In Andhra. where the Communists are stronger than anywhere else in India, they already hold 45 seats of the 140-man state legislative assembly, and one drought might tip the political scales in their favor. But Nehru, a canny man when it comes to fighting the Communists in his own country, managed to patch together a coalition between his own Congress Party and a few independents that would give his side a handy majority in Andhra; he located the state capital at Kurnool, far from the Communist pressure...
