The Week in Religion
By Religious News Service

Dispatches from India this
week told of a movement formed
by Orthodox Hindus in the Poona
area near Bombay to oust foreign
missionaries from the country.
Backers of the "Quit India"
movement announced plans to
stage demonstrations at mission
ary centers in the area.
The development was not i'm
portant in itself. But as a Symp-
tom of the ever-growing agita-
ton against foreign missionaries
in India. it worried Christian
leaders both there and in the
United States.
The foreign mission boards Of
most American denominations
have been reluctant to discuss
the Indian problem openly, for
fear Of worsening 1t. But some
missionary leaders now are priv
ately admitting their concern.
Topic in Parliament.
In India itself, missionary ac-
tivities have become a subject of
frequent and controversial dis
cusSion in Parliament.
Pointing up the significance of
the problem to Indian Christians
was the call paid on Prime Min
lister Nehru a few days ago by a
delegation of Christian members
Of Parliament.
The MP.'s appealed to Mr..
Nehru to act against what they
called communal agitation
against foreign missionaries and
presented a memorandum listing
the grievances of the mission
aries.
But the most significant result
OF the meeting was the release
of a statement containing the
Prime Minister'S views on mis-
Sionary activities.
Nehru Releases Letter.
On request of the parliament
tary delegation, Mr.. Nehru made
public a letter he had written last
August to Archbishop Yngve
Brilioth, Lutheran Primate of
Sweden.
In it, he promised that the
Indian government would ad-
here strictly to its policy of "full
religious tolerance" He re-
viewed the missionary situation
and explained his administra-
tion's position regarding it.
He acknowledged that much
good work had been done by
foreign missionaries and said
India would like to encourage
such efforts.
But the Prime Minister also
mentioned, and indicated his be-
lief in. some of the charges that
have been hurled against mis-
sionaries and which have been
used by some Indians to stir UP
anti-missionary feeling.
While every religion ''hAs COM
plete and equal freedom in In
dia." Mr.. Nehru said. the gov
ernment cannot permit any po-
litical activity on the part of mis-
sionaries. Nor can it tolerate
evangelical work that "gets as
sociated with some form Of con-
demnation of Indian culture" he
added.
Mr.. Nehru charged that some
missionaries serving on India's
northeast frontier not only had
participated in political activity
but had encouraged the tribal
people Of these areas to start

discovered when the Red position
would be seized-and five or more
Chinese or North Koreans would be
found with one gun: when one man
fell, another moved in to fire the
weapon. and after him another

of the night of April "a. land we
