EN ROUTE TO U.S.A.
NIECES OF NEHRU SYDNEY, June 3. Two nieces of the Pandit Nehru, chairman of the All-India Congress Party, have arrived in Australia. They are Chandralekha Pandit, aged 19 years, and Nayanatara Pandit, aged 16 years. Nehru was arrested by the British authorities during the Congress civil disobedience campaign and is still detained.
The two girls are on their way to the United States to complete their education. Both are small and pretty and speak flawless English. “In peace-time we would have gone to England, but now America is the only place open to us,” said one of the girls. Both will do an arts course with the intention of taking up social service work. “We feel that this is the best way of helping India,” explained Chandralekha, adding that more young and educated Indians than ever were interesting themselves in trying to raise the living standards of their people.
