against imperialist domination led him to believe that unless women and youth are brought into the peace movement there will not be a real movement in India. With this idea he has taken the
initiative in establish the National Association of Indian Women for Peace and Development and Indian Youth for Peace and Development. Both these organizations are slowly gaining ground. Rao
