Menon admits, however, that the situation has improved and that there are pacific elements at work both in Peking and in Washington, notably President Eisenhower, who may bring about an easing of tension and eventually a negotiation of differences.
Menon apparently has been told in Peking that while technically permission to return has been given, in fact it is not possible for many hundreds of Chinese students who wish to go to get out of the country.
I told Menon that so far as I was concerned I was not nearly as optimistic as he was about satisfactory results from any such discussions, or that free elections in any accepted meaning of the word could be held in the near future.

Krishna Iyer, in a raging speech opposed this judicial violation of human rights and lamented that PIL jurisprudence was being misused by vested interests under pretense of public interest.

Dadoo and other leaders of the South African Indian community whom he encouraged in building the unity of the Indian community with the African people in the common struggle against racist domination.
Menon was particularly disappointed that the United Kingdom and the white Commonwealth countries, which bore a responsibility for the problem, opposed all United Nations action against racial discrimination in South Africa.

 Vengalil Krishnan Krishna Menon - Encyclopedia.com
As secretary (1929-47) of the India League and also as a journalist, he worked hard for Indian self-government and became closely associated with Jawaharlal Nehru.
After Indian independence (1947), Krishna Menon served as high commissioner for India in Great Britain (1947-52) and as Indian delegate to the United Nations (1952-62), where he was an outspoken critic of the United States and a staunch supporter of mainland China.
In 1957 he was appointed minister of defense, but in 1962, following the Chinese invasion of India's northern frontiers, he was severely criticized for India's lack of military preparedness and was relieved of office.

 The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum - Time Off
Menon, it seems, made almost a habit of sending for senior military and civil officers "on Sundays and at awkward times...to discuss what he told them were urgent problems." One night Kaul was woken up from deep sleep at 3 a.m.
These generals and admirals whom Krishna Menon made the targets of his derision and insults were collectively responsible for keeping the nation’s war machine in a high state of efficiency and readiness.
It is, of course, possible that Krishna Menon had good reason to feel dissatisfied with the ‘old-boy’ network of the armed forces that had been a legacy of the Raj.

She added that Krishna Menon's growing unpopularity was not because of his stand on Suez or Kashmir, "but his twisted approach to problems and his manner of dealing with them".
He told Krishna Menon on January 18: "You will recollect that at that time [in 1947] I had suggested to Pakistan to make a joint request to undertake plebiscite in Kashmir." The minutes of an India-Pakistan meeting in Lahore on December 8, 1947, show that a joint reference was Mountbatten's idea, which Nehru rejected.

 The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum
Menon was the dictator whom the service chiefs chose to secretly nickname "God Almighty." Another problem with Menon, as observed by Navy Chief R.D. Katari, was his "inherently devious ways." He would even go to the extent of tempting any officer pliant enough to be cultivated.
Because Menon (contrary to his own tall claims) could understand neither technical nor tactical issues, he would call junior officers directly to explain cases to him although the same would already have been done by the chiefs themselves or their PSOs and directors.
But he repeated that Menon as defence minister had "made it impossible" for him and the other chiefs to work as head of the services, and unless Menon was moved out of defence, there could be little progress.
