Mr Desai 's Indian Summer Part 1
Almost a year after Morarji Desai became Prime Minister of India at the age of 81, following his unexpected victory over Mrs Gandhi and the Congress Party in the country's General Election, both President Carter and Mr Callaghan have shown, by their recent visits, the importance the West attaches to the new Government. But how are India's rulers tackling the country's political, social and economic problems? What are the strengths and weaknesses of Mr Desai 's Janata Government? What does it see as India's position in the world?
