Nanda’s tough line on Communists in India’s early leadership
Gulzarilal Nanda, new prime minister and veteran trade unionist, jailed over 1000 Communists during his time as home minister. A Gandhian socialist, he sees communism as a bigger threat to India’s democracy than right wing groups, and he has a record as a labor organizer and economist. He led the Congress labor movement, spent years in jail, and rose from professor to caretaker prime minister after Nehru’s death. He is married with four children, two daughters and two sons, all of whom pursued medical careers.
