In the second installment of André Malraux's views on India and Bangladesh, Dileep Karanth translates an open letter written by André Malraux to the president of the USA, Richard Nixon. In the letter André Malraux questions the stand taken by the newly emerged superpower that the USA was, towards India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
This is a translation of two web pages about the French writer André Malraux, and his views on India and Bangladesh.
Dileep Karanth brings to light the love and fascination that a misunderstood frenchman, André Malraux, had for India - not only the politically defined territories of India but also the civilisation; as his words to the students in Dacca prove.
The article attempts to understand the man and his ideologies and beliefs before delving into his love for India.
