The funeral of Shri Jawaharlal Nehru after his death on 27/05/1964 at Delhi. A sea of humanity is seen mourning the loss of the leader.
It was almost as if a family member passed away for every Indian - so revered was he then.

Once upon a time, Pune used to have a lot of these beatiful Tata Mercedes Benz buses as well as these double deckers. But these slowly dissappeared by the end of the millenium

Lovely, thanks for sharing. I remember this Poona. And, she was calm and tranquil till the late 70s, in fact to a relative extent even till the early 80s.

Meanwhile, here is an image of the Leyland- Austin link from India through an old picture.This could be Ennore, Madras.
Leyland - Austin, very interesting. It seems Ashok was able to persue a commercial tie-up, Bilra did not allow Austin cars into India and tr=hey were already dabbling with Morris:uncontrol
