life for nearly four thousand years
before the Christian era when the
worker labored according to his
ability and was paid according to
his need, is not disturbed by the
Communist dogma. Also cleverly
exploited is the Hindu religion that
prescribes how each Of the four
main castles starting with the
Brahmin or priest and then the
soldier, the merchant and lastly the
worker, win rule the world in turn.
In sum total the villager is made
to believe that his poverty is due to
the neutrality-suspicious. who ruled
the world for the last few hundred
years and that now 1t Is his, the
workers turn, to rule the world
through communism. It is further
explained that this is, in fact, his
own village system simply modern
lied and expanded by Russian ex-
perts who are his friends and CO.
workers.
No Match for Russians
This simple, nigh-powered med
icine has been all too successful in
India over the past 10 years. OF
course, the facts are that the village
commune of ancient Indian origin
was q highly decentralized feudal
unit where local committees changed
annually at harvest time ruled after
very democratic village elections.
The old commune Of India, without
political ties even to the next vii
Ilage, would hardly be match for
the totalitarian Russian methods,
an aspect Of the problem that is
never explained to the villager.
At Behrampalh as throughout
India, as learned this summer, the
product Of the Communist program
is an arrogant villager without faith
in his country's own government.
This holds true whether his village
was in Hyderabad or India. In this
way Nehru's government, the Hyder-
abad government or any government
except a Communist-co1ltrolled gov
ernment, would be constantly pressed
and pressured from the grass roots.
To this end the village men had
been made jealous and unhappy and
were told that they could get more
fruits of labor through communism
and in the 4bsence of leadership
on their own level from either the
government Of India or the Hyder-
abad government, they had taken the
cue from the Communists, taking
the law into their own hands and
setting up Communist parallel gov
ernments.
In Gandhi's death India lost the
leader who could effectively deal
with the poor on their own level
and inspire confidence and follow
ing. In the gap the Communists
have a free field, free to influence
and guide India's backward masses.
Here is the grave danger, q danger
that Nehru and the others were re-
luctant to admit to me.
Instructed on Weapons
BY tedious questioning found
out that the training Of these Com
munist converts was not left to
chance. Every few weeks q Com
munist flying squad of 80 to 40 men
with automatic rifles and Sten guns
came from India's territory and Wis
tied Behrampalli and other nearby
villages. Their job In this thorough
canvass routine was to show the vii
layers how to use their arms pur-
chased by the Communists In ba-
zaars in India, how to camouf1age,
how to repair their firearms, how
to make road blocks and how to set
up their own parallel government.
In addition to bringing grain, arms,
ammunition, the squads brought
pamphlets and literature printed in
the local lingo, Telegu.
The pamphlets used illustrations
reprinted from United States Army
training manuals showing how to
drill, how to camouflage, how to
build road blocks and how to ad-
minister medical aid-all of which
ironically was supposed to impress
the natives with modern "Soviet"
methods.
The villagers reported to me that
these flying squads that visited
Behrampalli came from supply
bases in India at Bezwada, Ellore
Guntur and Guruzala in India's
Madras Province, A few of the vii
layers had been taken to a camp
some Is miles southeast of Madhir
on the Madras -Hyderabad frontier
where the Communists provided
full -hedged training that even in
cluded intelligence reporting.
