Westward Slide

Westward Slide G P D INDIRA GANDHI is back from yet another trip abroad. This trip, as she rightly claimed in Paris, has been quite successful in projecting the new image of India and India's foreign policy; India and its foreign policy, positions are now betted understood in Europe. Considering that Westerners usually understand only such positions as1 meet their requirements, the implications of the PM's statement should not be tery obscure. In other wof ds, Indira Gandhi has managed to strike a friendly note in Rome and Paris and, of course, to keep high the baner of non-alignment in Sofia as well. Indian foreign policy has taken a new and decidedly pro-West turn.
