Indra Sen's Correspondence with The Mother

19 June 1946

Today Mr. P gave me Sri Aurobindo's letter of the 13th. I find that it contains the following instructions for the future guidance of the Press:

1). There should be "no writing in the Advent or other of our journals embodying political, social or economical controversy".

2) In a discussion or controversy, even on subjects like philosophy and art, "there need be no acrimonious debate".

3) "Current Indian politics have to be avoided in our publications."

Do you wish me to bear in mind these instructions when I look through the manuscripts and bring to your notice anything that appears to contradict them?

Yes, it is exactly that that is needed.
