Burrel (Tue May 27 1997 20:25 IST)Dear Mr Johnson: Why was Lord Mountbatten so ambivalent about the relationship shared between Nehru and Edwina? What was the political reason behind it?

Sometime after 5 PM, according to witnesses, Gandhi had reached the top of the steps leading to the raised lawn behind Birla House where he had been conducting multi-faith prayer meetings every evening.
