After 1975 Indira Gandhi too could not resort to populist politics for a variety of reasons. It had produced a virtual economic crisis in 1973 when, under leftist advice, she had taken over trade in foodgrains, she had to contain the left, especially the former communists, in her party if … Read More →

Businessmen have never been popular in India. They remain a very vulnerable group despite their wealth which has, of course, increased enormously since inde­pendence. This is so not only, or even mainly, because the vast ma­jority of the Indians are poor and, therefore, envious of those who have done well … Read More →

The impression has spread that as Prime Minister, Mr. Rajiv Gandhi is deliberately distancing himself from his mother’s approach to the problems of the country’s governance.

Leave a comment

As a people we are new to the task of managing the affairs of a modern state. So we tend to fluctuate rather wildly from the one extreme of complacency to panic and scare-mongering. Witness the manner in which we ignored the defence of the Himalayas up to 1962 despite … Read More →
