It was a thrilling moment. On 14 August 1947, on the even of India's independence, we glued ourselves to the radio in our little school a hundred miles from Calcutta. It was almost exactly four years after the terrible famine we had seen as young children (with millions dying) . . . Those were terrible days, but August 1947 was a different and a joyous time. In celebration of independence and in welcoming a democratic India, Jawaharlal Nehru's voice roared load and clear over the radio, telling us about India's "tryst with destiny". The "task ahead" including "the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity." We heard with rapt attention and we felt powerfully inpsired.
