Portrait of India

Today, i n the course o f a prolonged visit I am paying to my native country in late 1965 and 1966, I go o n a tour o f New Delhi. Since I was here last, on another visit, i n 1959 - 1 have spent nearly all my adult lite in Britain and the United States - the city has fanned out in all directions. Where once there were waste tracts, there are now little self-contained suburbs, cach busily scarching for an exclusive identity.
