Four and a half years is a very short time for a Westerner to get to know much about India. India is not only an Asian nation; it is a nation of almost four hundred million inhabitants; it is a sub-continent. Because of its many racial strains, its many regions, languages and customs, it is indeed more comparable to the whole sub-continent of Western Europe than to any one nation state in Western Europe. India's predominant religion, Hinduism, is more remote from the predominant religion of the West than any other of the main religions of the world. India is composed mainly of illiterate, ill-clad, hungry peasants living in mud or straw huts. India is riddled by a social disease, casteism, to which there is nothing comparable in the West. The Indians whom the Westerner, and especially the Western ambassador, gets to know, are almost all members of a small governing class. This class constitutes less than one-quarter of one per cent of the population, and it is not representative of the mass of the people from whom it is divided by a deep gulf. It is therefore with hesitation and humility that I submit this valedictory report I have tried not to let recent developments bulk too large in my assessment but this is difficult. This report is written at a period of low ebb in India's fortunes. The last election (1957) demonstrated the strength of the divisive forces of casteism, communalism and factionalism. The communists have secured a beachhead in Kerala from which they can expand if the Congress Party does not have a virtual rebirth. The failure of Nehru to strengthen his cabinet by getting rid of some of the reactionaries and incompetents and by bringing in new blood, arouses apprehensions that his normal lack of ruthlessness and guile added to his fatigue and increasing years may mean that he will not lead the Congress Party to a rebirth. India is facing an agricultural crisis because of its","PeriodicalId":43647,"journal":{"name":"India Quarterly-A Journal of International Affairs","volume":"89 1","pages":"167 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"1965-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80356749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nehru","doi":"10.1177/0974928419650101","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0974928419650101","url":null,"abstract":"I WOULD like to congratulate the Council on the initiative it has taken in organising a series of discussions on The Challenge of the Chinese Bomb. I welcome the phrase which you have used—challenge rather than a threat. The Chinese explosion of a bomb is undoubtedly a threat, but it is also a challenge. It is a challenge to India, both as a national State and as a neighbour of China with its special interests and concerns. It is also a challenge to India as a responsible and peaceful member of the world community. The challenge to India is to find some way which will enable her not only to safeguard her national interests, but also larger interests of the world as a whole. Let me first deal with this larger aspect. As you all know, the explosion of the Chinese bomb has enlarged the threat of proliferation of nuclear weapons. Throughout the world this is recognised as one of the greatest dangers which mankind is facing. Already, the existing stocks of nuclear weapons in the hands of the nuclear Powers are large enough to destroy humanity. If a war were to start by accident or miscalculation the result would be the end of the world as we know it today. So the first problem is how to reduce .and eliminate existing stocks. And it is because both sides recognise the danger that they have decided to find some way of reaching an agreement on arms control and disarmament. There is no alternative to general and complete disarmament in the nuclear age.* That is accepted by everyone. The first step, however, is for the major Powers to reach some agreement on the reduction of their own stocks. If they are not prepared to reduce their stocks how can they expect others to forego their ambition to become nuclear Powers ? India has no such ambition, but there are many other countries which have nuclear ambitions. France and China have made it clear that they will not accept the monopoly of the existing nuclear Powers. We may disagree with their","PeriodicalId":43647,"journal":{"name":"India Quarterly-A Journal of International Affairs","volume":"15 1","pages":"3 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"1965-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84873498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
