INDIA: Nehrunian Freedom
Among India's many minorities are its 20,000 Chinese, a mere handful among India's 360 millions. Some of them have been distressed by Nehru's friendly gestures towards Communist China. Four weeks ago Li Wei-ping, a prominent merchant and former president of the Calcutta Chinese Chamber of Commerce, made a speech roundly denouncing Red China's Mao Tse-tung. Dr. C. S. Liu, who edits the Chinese-language daily, Chinese Journal of India, reported the speech in his paper. Last week the Indian government jailed Merchant Li without bail under a law called the Preventive Detention Act, and ordered Editor Liu to leave the country by Nov. 30, "for offending the head of a state with whom India has friendly relations."
