We are overwhelmed. Very rarely one comes across a text like this, which is at once powerful and truthful. In tour article you have referred to FULO-JHANO and NILAMBAR-PITAMBAR. We know nothing about them. Would you kindly enlighten? How and where we may get to read about them? We read Hindi. Dear Gladsonji,

The same was the case with the USA where in the nineteenth century considerable public investments were made to facilitate growth of capitalism). Thus, the real force behind Nehru's actions should also be mentioned.

There could have been another man in his place. It is not correct to hold him personally guilty, because any other leader would have come from the same social and class background and would have done much the same. Nehru happened to be the leader.
