		Morarji Desai went to his grave as a traitor -- perhaps India's most infamous one -- totally discredited on the basis of Hersh's secret informants.

		Desai's pleadings denied that he ever had any connections with the CIA, and alleged that Hersh published these statements knowing they were false or with reckless disregard as to their falsity.

		And though he insisted that it was not Morarji Desai (as Seymour Hersh would later mistakenly claim), he stuck to his stand but maintained that the CIA never gave him a name.

		But after Shastri died Morarji, a month short of turning 70, decided that time was running out for him and jumped into the contest against Indira Gandhi, who, from all indications was her father's choice to eventually inherit the prime ministerial gaddi.
		True, she had been Congress president (and imperiously supervised the dismissal of E M S Namboodiripad's Communist government in Kerala) and been a rather unimpressive information and broadcasting minister in the Shastri Cabinet, but that was about all.
		Even though she led her party to a reduced majority in the 1967 general election, within a couple of years, she split the party, ousted Desai, Ghosh, Kamaraj and Patil (who formed the Congress-Organisation) and began imposing her will on the Congress in an authoritarian fashion that no one has done since.

		Like all prophecies, Morarji’s predictions embodied a good deal of wishful thinking, but the fact remains that he was not far wrong.
		Every now and then, I ponder over what Morarji had to say and wonder why no member of our National Assembly or Senator is prepared to face the Pakistani bullet or make any sacrifice in defence of our political institutions or our fledgling democracy.
