Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit sister of Jawaharlal Nehru , disciple and close friend of Gandhi, sometime Indian Ambassador in Moscow and High Commissioner in London, talks to MARK TULLY about her leadership of the first independent Indian delegation to the United Nations in 1946 and in particular about her triumphant victory over the Old World (and over Gandhi's friend General Smuts) in the debate on the treatment of Indians in South Africa. A climactic experience in her long life in Indian politics, it was also a turning point in international politics.
