From all indications, the southerners would like English as India's official language, and they have an impassioned ally in Oxford-educated Education Minister (and former Ambassador to the U.S.) Mahomedali Chagla, who has pleaded: "Let us not destroy the link language. It is our window to the world." Under the 1963 act, Parliament is to review the language question again in 1975.

Born in Buckingham, Quebec, near the Ontario border, he decided to enter the Jesuits at 17, studied at his society's Heythrop College near Oxford and at Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University. He spent 13 years teaching theology at Jesuit seminaries in Canada before moving to "the Greg" in 1953. There he follows a life as precisely organized as his thought.
