4. The great founder of the Soviet State, Lenin, perspicaciously defined the Soviet people's revolution as the beginning of a new era in the history of the world. Sun Yat-sen, the Chinese democrat, saw in the triumph of the people's revolution the birth of a great hope for mankind, and Mr. Nehru, the renowned leader of contemporary India, stated that, almost simultaneously with the October Revolution led by the great Lenin, India had entered upon a new phase of its struggle for freedom. The Indian people, he went onto say, had for many years been taken up with that struggle and had endured grim oppression with courage and patience. And although the Indian people under Gandhi's leadership had taken a different road, they had admired Lenin and had been influenced by his example.
