He has walked through his role austerely, a man alone much of the time, not posturing or parading, but embracing the "normalcy" of those middle-class Americans who voted for him.

A film exhibitor in the city of Kakinada expanded into the ticket-printing business and now supplies 45 theaters in four states. The owner of a small radio shop opened a branch office which he turned over to a woman manager (an unprecedented delegation of responsibility in India), called in an outstanding loan and established a paint and varnish factory...
