The Chief Minister of West Bengal has sent me a copy of your article on recent events in Bangladesh and I have had it translated. It is deeply mouring and has a hard core of reliable analysis. You are aware of the high regard in which we held Sheikh Mujib and our revulsion at the gruesome assassination of the entire family. However, we must think of the repurcussions of anything that is said or done here.

Lest we be misrepresented, we should modulate our public reaction to events in a neighboring country with the utmost care. What a person of your position in the literary world says will have far-reaching impact and I am sure that you would not like to cause us any embrrassment.

Yours sincerely Indira Gandhi r
