India: Fifty years after Independence

Aline Beveren

Chapter 9 in China and India, 1999, pp 153-164 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract On the eve of India’s fiftieth Independence anniversary, a statement by its first Prime Minister, Pandit Nehru, is still up-to-date: A long time ago we made a trust with destiny and now the time has come when we shall redeem our pledge. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes but rarely in history when we shall step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance.
