| In this
struggle we must ask: Where is India? and what role does she have to play? India too
struggles with ethnic and religious divisions, with a rapid and often ugly industrialism,
with a plundered land and a population out of control. She has here leftists and
communists who have twisted her economy and tried to turn the souls of her people against
her spiritual heritage. She has her new
capitalists ready to make quick money or to ally themselves with the multinational
corporations who see India as a
great new land to exploit. Where is the soul of India today? Where is her will? She tries
to stand for the underdeveloped world, for peace, tolerance, the unity of humanity and
respect for all religions. But her direction is not clear. It appears that she can't even
discipline herself. |
