A shrewd Public figure in her who was one of the worlds outstanding diplomats mrs.

One answer May be for the nationally ruling con Gress party to come Back to Power in the states com prising hindi speaking North India. But the fact that three states utter Pravesh Bihar and West Bengal Are under presi dents or Central Rule and will have new elections soon May not be As import ant in the View of Many political observers As the fact that the common de nominator of Indian politics keeps getting lower and lower. If the people of two More states the Punjab and Adhya Pravesh find they cannot govern them selves As is Likely to happen shortly that May not be so important in the present context of Indian democracy. What May be much More important is that political pressures of the sort Sheik Abdullah warned against appear to be ruining Indian education As a Force for a modern progressive spirit Nehru s fondest aim. Moreover even parliamentary forms and popular slogans like non alignment and democratic socialism which suit the Indian penchant for habit Are hedged these Days. If a High Indian official is asked about a visit to rebellious Nagaland or for an unequivocal statement about India s commitment to exclusively peaceful uses of nuclear Energy or for an Assurance of clean elections in Kashmir the answer is Likely to be the same we d like to allow it but parties like the hindu nationalist Jan Singh would get mad in parliament. Part of this May be the inevitable penalty for democratization. India could not go on almost exclusively under brahmans or their moslem equivalent forever. Nor can any system or any country easily overcome an enormous economic Handi Cap like India s poverty and the Over Fleming pressure for jobs it produces. Public cynical but mrs Gandhi is the Brahman who inherited the Job of administering India s troubles and while she obviously has Fine instincts she stopped taking the people into her Confidence Long time ago. It May not a be a fair criticism but Many indians say the same thing about her that they do about the worst Hacks in and put of Congress that she is mainly interested in keeping her Job. She will also do her Best to keep parliament orderly when it meets for the Monsoon session. But a Babel of Many angry voices will Rise in the chamber that was meant to be Asia s b est Hope for meaningful democracy. It May still be but outside it the talk is More and More of revolution.
