Independence Day in India is observed with great solidarity. We just celebrated the 70th birthday of independent India. What were the best decades of independent India? As always, childhood — the first decade, 1947-1956 – was tremendous. There was a lot of hope and confidence in India’s future. The decade started with the miseries of Partition and the need to settle the five million or more refugees. But the nation coped with rationing in good spirit. It managed a decent rate of economic growth for the first time in 50 years. India’s international standing was high and it played the go-between in the settlement of the Korean War and the departure of the French from Indo-China. As the first and the largest country to become independent, it played a lead role in the UN.
