NEW DELHI, Dec. 6—A great burst of anger against the United States is being felt in India because of American efforts in the United Nations Security Council to obtain a cease‐fire resolution and the withdrawal of hostile forces.
This, Indians feel, is “equating India with Pakistan.” They argue that Pakistan triggered the present situation by committing atrocities against her own citizens in the east over the last eight months in an attempt to repress the autonomy movement there.
The United States Ambassador, Kenneth B. Keating, was summoned by the Indian Foreign Secretary, T. N. Kaul, to be told of India's “shock and surprise” at the stand the United States has taken in the United Nations.
Editorial Reaction Strong
Editorial reaction was also sharp. It indicated that a move to cut off American economic aid to India would only intensify the Indian feelings.
Frank Moraes, the well known editor of the Indian Express, said in a commentary this morning that “New Delhi is not accustomed to be talked to in such terms” and that “Washington can shove its aid where it wants to.”
The Statesman said that “the Americans were predictably perverse.” A Times of India commentator condemned what he called Washington's consistent support for tyrants and “unscrupulous policy in the Indian subcontinent.”
At news briefings, some journalists clamored for action against American diplomatic families who, they said, were reportedly failing to observe the nightly blackout in New Delhi.
Physically, the war so far has hardly touched the lives of the great mass of the Indian people.
