From 50 Years Ago: Concern for the Public
Vol I, No 8 OCTOBER 8, 1966
WEEKLY NOTES
The Fair Trade Practices Association auspiciously launched on Gandhi Jayanti day by a group of 30 businessmen in Bombay is significant, not so much for the benefits it promises to consumers, but for the change it denotes in the views of a section of the business community about its own political role. … Since the objective was to get at the economic plums through the Congress, effort was directed mainly to gaining influence within the Congress by a judicious strategy of material support to the party and infiltration of the Government and the party’s highest councils.
