SEPARATE STATIC
The demand of the creation of a
Karnataka state cannot occasion anv
iurprise The manner in which the
Andhra demand was conceded has created
an unhealthy precedent which it would
he folly to .suppose others would not
profit by. However legitimate and pro-
per the demand tor linguistic states in
the light of congress pledges to the coun-
try, care has to be taken to ensure
that in the final reckoning India is not
'split up into narrow domestic walls
teparating as many as fifty six states as
in the pufahie age. Separatist move,
mepts. in Other areas will now gather
momentum. What a pity !
colour \v \ u
It does lo ;k very much as if th.e
world is headipg for a colour war The
naked repression by. a handful of English
whites in Kenya to choke off a legiti
mate movement for national freedom is
not the only sign of this fearful possi
bility which Malart is .-training every
nerve to convert into a certainty. It
is sad to think that the U. NT is power-
less to obeck the whily mischief in Africa
although the very mischief is an open
and naked challenge to the authority
of the U. N A colour war would
sound the deathknell of civilisation and
convert God’s earth into a vast jungle
of wild beasts clad in human skin.

WHERE LIES THE ROT ?
Sir, There can be no two opinion
about Darjeeling being a famous health
resort and a visitors’ Paraside. Its
natuial beauty and granduer, grace and
climate its fresh food and quiet atmos-
phere have won for it the apt designa-
tion of ‘The Queen of the Hills'. Income
derived from the dealings with visitors
is one of the most important sources
of revenue for Darjeeling. Motorwallas.
Hotelwallas, Collies, Rikshawallas, Pony-
wallas, vegetable dealers and others earn
uheir livelihood from the visitors.
Of late there has been a mar-
ked fall in the number of visitors to
this Himalayan ab^de; and Darjeeling
people are much worried in this respect.
Yet, in the face of the impending dan-
ger of business depression, increasing
unemployment and unrest among the
people over here no one, so far, has
given serious t* ought to this problem
of decrease in the number of v sitois.
Communication difficulty and insufficient,
ineffactive paper-propaganda are some
of the causes for this unhappy state of
affairR. But t.o me, there is one very
important factor which 1ms contributed
to create this problem for us. It is
the dealing and behaviour of all con-
cerned. nvrtr here. The harassment, lies,
hitter words and threat to which a visitor
is subjected to from Sibguri to Darjeeling,
Kurseong and Kalimpong and vice verm
and during his stay in the hills embitter
him very much. He not only resolves
not to come to Darjeeling any more,
but also expresses his wounded feeling
to other prospective visitors in no soil
language. Thus, visitors, who love to
be here, are discouraged and scared.
