Theos-Talk Archives (September 2004 Message tt00832)

Thanks for your clarification.

Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru (first PM of India) were both shocked and 
surprised at the level of violence between neighbors and individuals - they 
always felt about the tolerance of Indians - and they were at a loss what 
to do. There is a small writeup about Nehru meeting with J Krishnamurti at 
that time in Ooty and discussing this issue. However we cannot deny that 
Independence did open up the potential of India as was envisaged by the 
Adepts in 1800s.
