...Attlee must give place to Nehru in the matter of denning Dulles by the character of his opposition. On the day that Dulles spoke, the conspicuously unhumble Nehru rose in the Indian Parliament to denounce U.S. policy.

Nehru said that religion was all right in private life or ethics but should be left out of politics...

In New Delhi, Nehru's officials lamely claimed that India was told of the arrests only "after they had taken place." (Prince Karan Singh and Bakshi were in India last month for talks with Nehru.) In Kashmir itself, a crowd of the Lion's followers marched on the Prime Minister's residence, cursed...
