King's time in India revealed the extent to which the Montgomery bus boycott was covered in India and throughout the world.

They were to play five Tests in India for the first time with captain Richie Benaud hoping to repeat his performance of three years earlier when he took 23 wickets.
India had only three days to regroup before the second Test in Kanpur but the recall of off-spinner Jashubai Patel proved an inspired move as he bowled them to a 119-run win.
India showed more resolve in their second innings as Motganhalli Jaisimha made 74 and Kenny and Borde also reached fifty.

 China and India Announced a New Partnership
India has given refuge to Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, since China's crackdown on Tibet in 1959.
And India continues to be wary of China's close ties and arms transfers to Pakistan.
Some argue that China's recent overtures to India are motivated by a concern that the United States is seeking to build up India's power in the region.

 The China-India Border War
India saw how weak her Army was, and began a massive buildup and modernization of her Army in the mid-1960s.
And while China and India dis- puted the border on two fronts (east in NEFA and west in Aksai Chin, this western border was especially significant, for China had built a military highway--to link Sinkiang and Tibet--here in 1956-57; Peking was adamant in retaining her right to this land.
India seemed almost totally unaware that she was heavily outnumbered along the border and that China (unlike India) was well prepared logistically and well versed in alpine warfare tactics.

 The Hindu : The strategic perspectives in Sino-Indian relations
In 1962, the issue was the Tibetan revolt in March 1959, and India's subsequent posturing that had led to the outbreak of hostilities.
The Chinese suppression of the Tibetan revolt was portrayed by India as violation of Tibetan autonomy, and thus, a violation of the 1954 Sino-Indian Agreement on Tibet itself.
India was also preening on its victory in Goa in December 1961 over a rag-tag Portuguese occupation force.

 India - Russia
India's nonalignment enabled it to accept Soviet support in areas of strategic congruence, as in disputes with Pakistan and China, without subscribing to Soviet global policies or proposals for Asian collective security.
The most intimate phase in relations between India and the Soviet Union was the period between 1971 and 1976: its highlight was the twenty-year Treaty of Peace, Friendship, and Cooperation of August 1971.
India's advocacy of the Indian Ocean as a zone of peace was directed against aggrandizement of the Soviet naval presence as much as that of other extraregional powers.

 India’s China War by Neville Maxwell
However, India categorically claimed Aksai Chin as part of the northern border and Nehru ruled it as "a firm and definite one which was not open to discussion with anybody." Thus far, the claim remained on the official map change and not reflected on the ground.
India was the prime articulator of the concept of non-alignment and accepted spokesman for the non-aligned countries.
With minimal resistance, India seized Goa, but it became more of a scandal and an irritant to India, especially to Nehru, in face of their persistent advocacy of the doctrine never to justify the use of force as a means of settling international disputes.

 Child Labor and India - Embassy of India, Washington, DC
India has all along followed a proactive policy with respect to the problem of child labor, and has stood for constitutional, statutory and developmental measures to combat child labor.
It should also be mentioned that India is second to none in its commitment to and in the upholding of the core international labor standards such as freedom of association, collective bargaining, non-discrimination, etc. India is signatory to a record 36 ILO labor conventions.
India has announced a National Policy of Child Labor as early as 1987, and was probably the first among the developing countries to have such a progressive policy.

In 1959, India alone, with 763 tons, accounted for more than two-thirds of the total; Turkey came next with 168 tons, followed by the USSR with 132 tons.
Of these quantities 701 tons in 1956, 912 tons in 1957, 906 tons in 1958 and 886 tons in 1959 were used for medical purposes, mostly in the extraction of morphine, which in turn is mostly all converted into codeine.
In India, opium smoking was prohibited in 1946 except for a relatively small number of registered smokers, and measures were shortly afterwards introduced to terminate by 1959 the ingestion of opium for quasi-medical purposes.

 India Office Records: Arrangement of the Records, and List of Classes
The India Office Records are arranged in classes according to the departments or agencies which carried out the functions of the India Office and its predecessor institutions.
Much of the work of the India Office is represented in the Council's minutes and memoranda, but fuller documentation usually lies in the correspondence and papers of India Office departments (see L below).
These records, donated to the India Office by the Government of Malaya in 1927, emanate from the administration of the Orphan Chamber (Weeskamer) and the Council of Justice (Raad van Justitie) in Malacca in the period 1785-1825, and are for the most part in Dutch.

The Dalai Lama was offered asylum in India and settled in Dharamsala, in northern India.
He was followed into exile by about 80,000 Tibetans, most of whom settled in the same area, which has become known as "Little Lhasa" and is home to the Tibetan government-in-exile.

 Review: The World of Apu (Apur Sansar)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Ray, a masterfully accomplished director, is at the height of his powers with this film, one of the most equally wrenching, uplifting, and cathartic motion pictures I have experienced.
Following 1955's Pather Panchali and 1956's Aparajito, this 1959 feature provides the perfect culmination to an unforgettable saga.
It's possible to review The World of Apu without mentioning the other films in the trilogy, because Ray has constructed this movie so that its full power can be felt by anyone unfamiliar with what preceded it.
