First published in 1965, Commonwealth for a Colour-Blind World argues that the Commonwealth can work more effectively to reduce racial tensions than any other grouping of states in existence at the time.The heart of this book is India, without whose membership the Commonwealth could hardly survive. Ingram points out the vital importance of helping to build a strong democratic India and pleads for India to play a greater part in Commonwealth affairs. Only with full Indian support can the Commonwealth become truly effective.As he moves across the vast Commonwealth canvas, Ingram writes controversially on a great variety of topics—Nehru’s last years, the campaigns for nuclear disarmament, the treatment of immigrants in Britain—even Mods and Rockers. He approaches his difficult subject in an original manner. The book begins for example with a description of the death of a drunken Ghanaian in Russia and ends with a discussion of Tchekov.
