Summary: India in the mid-sixties is entering a crucial decade. The attack on poverty has undoubtedly improved the lives of millions. But in 17 years since Independence the growth of social and political consciousness has outpaced the rate of economic development. Millions still live near or below the breadline and rightly desire more and better. Rising prices, corruption and unemployment worry people. Defence added to development has cast a heavy burden on the economy. The current food problem and inflationary pressures have engendered a mood of pessimism while the passing away of Jawaharlal Nehru has created a nagging sense of political uncertainty in certain minds. This, however, is a superficial view that ignores the iceberg-like quality of India's real strength and progress. The reality of the ice berg lies in the larger part that is submerged and hidden. So too with India.
