Girilal Jain
Edit ProfileCareer
He served as the editor of The Times of India from 1978 till 1988. He believed that the political-economic order that Jawaharlal Nehru had fashioned was as much in its last throes as its progenitor, the Marxist–LeninistStalinist order. Foreign, it emphasized the exclusion of those who did not belong to the charmed circle (territorial, linguistic or ethnic) as much as it emphasized the inclusion of those who fell within the circle.
Such a spirit must seek to abolish and not build boundaries.
Achievements
Politics
He believed that the two major planks of this order, secularism and socialism, have "lost much of their old glitter" while the third, non-alignment, has become redundant.
