REPORTING ON INDIA
We are nofr, in fact, "Kalling" from Kanpur because we are temporarily refugees
from the blistering heat of the Gangetic plains which ore our usual Indian ha^Jitat.
For a short while we are in the Himalayan "hill-stotion" of Mussoorie. By July first
we expect to be back in Kanpur.
Atthis time of the year India, as we do, lives in expectancy. One sees items in the
newspapers, headed: "Monsoon around the bendl" Following a pre-monsoon shower
onenewspaperreporternoted that "monsoon or not, the town went Jubilant with people
casting relievedglancesat the heavens and children romping frantically inthe falling
rain." The fact that the summer rains have been inadequte or have failed altogether
for two years in a row has put a good deal of apprehension as well as expectancy into
those scannings of the heavens: should it happen a third time, India seems doomed.
As it is it has beena year of agony for Mother India, and the end is by no meansin
view. Particularizing, a newspaper correspondent on a tour of famine areas notes:
"At Kanakpur village, with a population of about three hundred, six people hove
died. One of the vxis Roz Ali, aged six. The child, who hod been without food for
several days, had gone to a field to collect morabbo roots. There he collapsed from
weokness. His parents brought him home - that was all they could do. The next day
Roz Ali died."
Reporting from a town just on the fringe of the scarcity area, the same observer
writes: "Monendragarh has octoally to deal with the bock-wash of the drought. Apart
from tfie CARE feeding center, some of Its citizens have opened a free kitchen In the
town. Hearing of these, parents from surrounding areas come to the town,quietlydump
their children there like people getting rid of kittens, then depart to return nomore.
Unlike the kittens the children moke no attempt to get back home." These children,
he says,are easily distinguished from the professional,comporitively well-maintained
beggar children one is so accustomed to seeing in every town in Hindustan. "There
ribsand cheekbones sticking out, they hove an aura of death and decay about them many among them will surely die before long. With their air of not belonging they
form a peculiar tribe of orphans whose parents are still living."
Frustration over the failure to make heodway In the gigantic tasks of securing the
vast population against mass starvation often resloves itself into bureaucratic bicker
ings and blame-fixing. Efforts to meet the problems involved head on are frequently
nullified by religious bias and by just plain self-interest on the part of great sections
of the population. Programs for the curbing of population growth, despite the expen
diture of vast sums, have made practically no impression and at leatt so far as the
public notice is concerned hove ground to a holt. A well-informed friend estimates
that an amount equal to the total cost of the Third "Five Year Plan" is being drained
from the Indian economy within the same period, through graft and corruption. High
among India's youth in the first flush of independentnationhood, have In most instances
degenerated Into an attitude that says: "Why should we sacrifice ourselves while
others engage openly In corrupt practices and reap the fruit of our sacrifices? We
might as welI get our share whlIe the getting is good."
A
CHRISTIAN
RESPONSE
The response to India's need, on the part of the Christians, has been general, large
and self-less. Food distribution systems have been set up in scores of places. Some of
these systems are completely independent, but where possiblegovernmentco-operation
has been secured. In places It has been necessary to open free kitchens but werever
feasible relief has taken fhe form of vnork p-oiects, so that in return for labor the
famine victims may procure c ration of grain.
Inevitably there has been a response to all of these demonstrations of Christlycompasslon in a definite increase in conversions in those areas. Such conversions to
Christianity must be viewed with some suspicion for the obvious reason that theymoy
well be from ulterior motives. Just as inevitably, the accusations ore already being
levelled against Christian missionaries that they are taking advantage of the mis
fortune ofIndian people to force them into ChrHttanity. The fact is that the onlyvwy
such conversionscbu'ld be prevented would be for Christian missions torefrain entirely
from relief work. Most of the workers disregard the revilings they receive, and be
lieve strongly that a good percentage of the converts are sincere and their change Is
genuine. Such eternal fruit is well worth the effortl
Repeated efforts to secure an import license for the off-set press which we hadhoped
to odd to the facilities at SERVICE PRINTING AND PUBLISHING PRESS at Konpur,
hove met with frustration only. We have decided to wasteno more time running from
office to office and to abandon the project. Other ways of increasing our effective
ness in the production and distribution of Christian literature are being explored.The press equipment, in the meantime, is in the care of the West Seattle Christian
Church, which has been given an option on the machinery. If they decide they do
not wish to buy it from us, they will act as our agents in its re^le.
PERSONAL MATTERS
have worked at part-time and summer jobs wherever possible. Designated gifts to
ward their educational expenses would be very gratefully received. They should be
sent to our forwarding agents. Central Christian Church in Clovis, New Mexico.
Weore frequentlyasked what we particularly and personally need. We want to make
it clear that the famine conditions prevailing in parts of India do not directly affect
us at Konpur, ^scept of course in the greatly enhanced prices we have to pay for
food. But since food parcels ore now coming through free of duty, if the total de
clared value is kept below $10. We would welcome a few of them. Packaged soups,
jello powders, cocoa, cake mixes, tinned meats, etc. are a real treat.
Another very hard to procure item is 35 mm Kodachrome film. This also is being
allowed In free of duty if only a single roll of film is included in a parcel. All par
cels should be marked clearly, "GIFT PARCEL".
June 25th marked a special anniversary of our wedding. We were married at the
Tuxedo Park Church of Christ (now Cambrian Heights Church)- in Calgary, Alberta,
twenty-five years ago. Many friends here in Mussoorie helped us to celebrate the
occasion, for which a reception was arranged by Miss Velma Held, representative
on the Woodstock School staff for Church of Christ missionary families.
It so happens that Dale's twenty-first birth anniversary ofso falls on June 25th.
