Abstract

India and Korea: An Unexpected Lesson
Thorner, Alice | January 2, 1954 issue

add to cart   close window

"The Times of India" of Bombay and "The Hindustan Times" of New Delhi sent their own correspondents to Korea and their dispatches contrast markedly with those of the United Press and Reuter's, which are also widely published here. The Indian journalists give many interesting details which the agencies omit. From them one gets a picture of the prisoners as a group of irresponsible teenagers, "well fed, well looked after, pampered and rewarded by the U.N. command for their political somersault." Their food ration, supplied by the Americans, is today twice that of the Indian troops in Korea.
