 Ved Mehta Writings Portrait of India
Portrait of India, based on Ved Mehta’s years of study of India and his months of travel throughout the country, is the first definitive book on present-day India, and is likely to be historic in its singular power to make India, at last, real and comprehensible to Western readers.
"Portrait of India is not only one of the most honest works written about the country in recent years, it is also something very different-a formidably true book that employs a unique perception, without sensation or bias of any kind.
Mehta is, however, an artist, not an encyclopedist, and what he has created is a vast but subtle mosaic of scenes, impressions, atmospheres, moods, conversations, and historical and political reflections, all of which together convey, as nothing before has done, the essence of that awesome land.

A breakdown of the last five year plans in India for various types of fibrous raw material is shown in Table 1.
The demand for paper in India is expected to grow at a fairly high rate, and the questions that arise from this are to what extent it will be able to meet the future requirements of pulping raw materials and what actions need to be taken to achieve this.
However, if India is to remain relatively self-sufficient in pulping resources as it has until now it will have to expand its use of wood, most likely through hardwood plantations, forest regeneration and the use of fast-growing species suitable for pulping and paper-making.
