Banerji, consul general of that nation, told the Eugene Ro tary Club Tuesday noon. Banerji, whose consul offices are in San Francisco, is visiting Eugene and Springfield as part of tne Kick-off of the "Great De cisions program. In his talk to the Eugene ser vice club, Banerji said that inde pendence brought a series of dif ficult problems to the leaders of India. But one by one, he said, the problems have been solved, so that the people are beginning to have confidence in a nation that is building toward industrial and agricultural leadership. One of the first problems of independence, Banerji said, was consolidation of more than 560 separate states in India. All were governed by 1-man rule. RULERS 'REALISTIC Banerji explained that through negotiations and "by the force of persuasion," the rulers were con vinced "that the time had come for power to pass from them to their people." "Our rulers are realistic peo ple," he commented. "They real ize that times have changed." As a result, Banerji said, all of the 560 parted with their ruling posi tions within a year after inde pendence. Thus democratic rule was ex tended throughout India, Banerji told his audience. But more than the achievement was the method used (to do this)." There was no conflict; no people slaughtered, no civil war, he said. SERIOUS VOTERS The second achievement for the new Indian nation, according to the consul general, was adop tion of a constitution. This was done without conflict, he said ana made tne nation into "a sov ereign democracy" giving the people the right of secret ballot and parliamentary procedure. Banerji explained that the Indian people use their voting privileges seriously during elec' tions. "Our people know their minds. They make their deci sions at no mans bidding but their own." There are now 372 million persons living in India, according to Banerji. He said the popula tion is increasing by about 5 million a year. The heavy growth has kept standards of living low,, and has presented a challenge to the leaders, but these leaders have made a beginning in whipping the problems, he said. Most of the initial work has been done under a 5-year plan set up by leaders. The people, Banerji said, are with the gov ernment in carrying out this plan. The plan includes a start to ward solving the basic question of food for the millions. "The re sult," said the consul general, "has been a near revolution in our production of food." For the first time in a century, India does not have to import any food. PEOPLE 'CONFIDENT' "For the first time the people have confidence," he said. "It means our progress will be able to get off to a good start in other fields." Banerji said the next step will be to industrialize the ration, and divert some of the strength from agricultural production. The plan calls for diversion of those "who live on the land" to industry. This will be done to remove un employment and to increase the national income, according to Banerji. "We are passing through an ex citing time in India," Banerji concluded. "We are meeting ter rific odds and we are fighting against time. "We aim at a society in India where opportunity will be equal to all. I have no doubt that it will be achieved."
