Nehru’s Road to Communism

In our issue of February 22, we published the valedictory statement of the Society for the Defense of Freedom in Asia, founded in 1952 by a group of Indian patriots for the purpose of fighting totalitarianism and especially Communism. We now have, from one of that society’s leading members, the following account of its work and of the persecution which led to its dissolution. For obvious reasons, the author, who writes from Calcutta, prefers to remain anonymous.

I am gratified to know that national review has given so much space to our closure notice. In this country it was ignored by the press — except the Communist press, which published selected portions of it to highlight our attack on Nehru. Here are the details of SDFA’s work, which started in April 1952 and ended in December 1955.
