Diplomat Outlines India's Struggle for Independence
India, since its independence in
1947, has made great strides to
ward an improved standard of
living and economic betterment,
S. K. 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."
