Decoding My Seventy-Two Years In Independent India-Part Two In 1960, at the global level, the most important development was the World Conference ofthe communist parties, the result of which was the 81 parties’ document. The conferencelaid bare the growing fissures within the once monolithic communist movement, as well asthe Communist Party of China’s advocacy of a parallel line in the international communistmovement, henceforth known as Maoism, after Chairman Mao Xedong, differingconsiderably from the line that was followed by the Soviet Union.In 1961, the CPI Party Congress at Vijayawada witnessed delegates vertically dividedbetween the two distinct political lines in assessing the character of the Congress Partyand its leader Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. The split in the CPI was averted at thelast-minute following intervention by the Soviet Communist Party delegation led by Mr.Suslov but the truce was short lived.In 1961 December, Calcutta witnessed its biggest cultural festival in the country for ten daysat the Park Circus Maidan in commemoration of the birth centenary of poet RabindranathTagore organised by the cultural wing of the CPI. A Cuban ballet group performed and gottremendous response from the audience. The literary elites of Bengal were astounded asthe CPI leader S.A. Dange gave his Marxist assessment of Tagore. They could never thinkthat a trade union leader like Dange could have such grasp of Bengali literature. I stillremember the joy and excitement that I had during those ten days working as a volunteer forthe delegates.In 1962, the third parliamentary elections were held in the country. The Indian NationalCongress under Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru continued with its majority in Parliament,but the year also marked the beginning of the end of golden Nehruvian era. The CPI gainedfurther in 1962 elections with 29 seats, getting nearly 10 percent of the vote share. But thiswas the last electoral foray of the CPI as a united party. The economy started showingstress after the implementation of the first two five-year plans with moderate success.Still, the Congress government at the centre could have tackled the economic problemeffectively, but the Chinese attack on the Indian borders in October 1962 and India’shumiliation at the hands of the Chinese armed forces, gave a big jolt to the image of thehitherto relatively unchallenged Jawaharlal Nehru. Nehru of pre-1962 confidence wasmissing after the border debacle. The leader had lost his mojo. The usual buoyancy wasgone. The government under Nehru carried on, but the strong governance was lacking.Nehruvian India was already fading, when on May 27, 1964, Jawaharlal Nehru passed awayafter suffering a cerebral stroke. At the level of CPI, the split became inevitable after the general secretary Ajoy Ghosh died inJanuary 1962. A compromise was made between the two factions by making S. A. Dange asthe party chairman and EMS Namboodiripad the general secretary. But the party leaders knew that this was just a temporary truce before the final storm. That came after the India-China border war. The battle lines were drawn in each state CPI unit, and finally the CPI(Marxist) was formed in 1964 by splitting the Communist Party of India. Apart from the so-called ‘Dange Letters’, the open call issued by the Chinese Communist Party in its June14,1963 letter was used by the rebel faction in mobilising the party members behind the newparty, CPI(M).At the national plane, Nehru’s death in May 1964 was followed for some time by a feeling ofvacuum in the national leadership, but soon Lal Bahadur Shastri took over as the secondPrime Minister of independent India. In no time, he had to tackle the India-Pakistan warin1965. Unfortunately, he died in Tashkent after signing the India-Pakistan accord. Nehru’sgrieving daughter Indira Gandhi took over as the third Prime Minister in January 1966 whenthe food situation in the country turned precarious and India had to take food grainsassistance from the USA under PL 480 provision. The foreign exchange reserves situationbecame serious, and Indira Gandhi went for devaluation of the rupee as a copingmechanism. The third five-year plan ended in 1966 with deteriorating economic situation,while Prime Minister Indira prepared for the 1967 general elections under her stewardship. In the 1967 parliamentary elections, the fourth in the country and the first without Nehru, theCongress somehow retained the national majority, but the party lost power in - Kapilkumar M.

Agency News:New Delhi
Manchester United legend and former captain Gary Neville has slammed former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo over his Old Trafford future. Earlier in the summer, Ronaldo informed the club that he wanted a transfer, but his future is yet to be decided. The attacker also hasn’t yet explained his position to the club’s fans and also didn’t applaud them after United’s 0-4 defeat vs Brentford on Saturday. He has also gone on to blast the media for ‘telling lies’ and has promised to reveal the truth about his situation ‘in a couple of weeks’. Taking to Twitter, Neville lashed out at Ronaldo
and asked him to ‘stand up now and speak’. He wrote, “Why does the greatest player of all time (in my opinion) have to wait two weeks to tell Manchester United fans the truth? Stand
up now and speak. The club is in crisis and it needs leaders to lead. He’s the only one who can grab this situation by the scruff of the neck!” Other than not applauding the fans against Brentford, Ronaldo also caught everyone’s attention with his reaction to David de Gea. The goalkeeper was in horrible form and committed two howlers to gift two early goals to Brentford. For the first goal, Ronaldo was dispossessed before De Gea let a weak shot roll under him. For the second goal, the Spaniard tried to play from the back, only to put Christian Eriksen in a tough spot and he lost the ball as Mathias Jensen scored. After the goal, Ronaldo was livid .

At 10.1%, UK inflation hits double digits for the first time in 40 years Agency News:New Delhi UK inflation accelerated more than expected last month to the highest in 40 years, intensifying a squeeze on consumers and adding to pressure for action from the government and Bank of England.The Consumer Prices Index rose 10.1% in July from a year earlier after a 9.4% gain the month before, the Office for National Statistics said Wednesday. The reading was higher than expected by both the BOE and private-sector economists.Rising food prices made the biggest contribution to the month’s increase, indicating inflationary pressures are spreading beyond energy. The pound briefly spiked to the day’s high of $1.2143 following the release, before paring gains.“Food prices rose notably, particularly bakery products, dairy, meat and vegetables,
which was also reflected in higher takeaway prices,” said Grant Fitzner, chief economist at the ONS. “Price rises in other staple items, such as pet food, toilet rolls, toothbrushes and deodorants also pushed up inflation in July.” The figures add to a cost-of-living crisis, with wages falling further behind rising prices for goods and services of all kinds. The BOE expects inflation to top 13% in October when the energy price cap resets, and Governor Andrew Bailey has signaled he’s prepared to raise interest rates further. Investors are pricing in another 50 basis-point hike in September.Contenders seeking to replace Boris Johnson as prime minister are promising further aid to those struggling to pay their bills. “Rising inflation is really putting the squeeze on real wages, even with strong wage growth,” said Mike Bell, global market strategist .
