Lining the parade route, sustaining themselves on peanuts, soda pop and peppered fish sticks, were 250,000 spectators. As the Buddhists celebrated the 2,508th year of Buddha's birth and the first anniversary of their successful campaign against President Ngo Dinh Diem, they plainly showed themselves a growing force...

As rumors spread, Moslem mobs in East Pakistan sacked Hindu shops and homes, left 29 dead before the army restored order. Panic-stricken, hundreds of Hindu families poured across the East Pakistan border into West Bengal, then headed for Calcutta, 35 miles away...
