Transformation of Hyderabad, India, into a “new Vienna” by erecting medical centers staffed by leading Vienna Jewish physicians was urged today by Dr. Glorney Bolton in an article in the current issue of Spectator.
Pointing out that Bombay and Calcutta had benefited by immigrant Jews from Baghdad and that a Jew (the late Lord Reading) once was Viceroy of India, the author declares: “In Hyderabad, Jew could live in peace with Mohammedan and for centuries to come Hyderabad would call the present Nizam (Indian potentate) blessed.”
Dr. Bolton also suggests settlement of Mysore, which is governed by a Hindu ruler, with maintenance of a Jewish-staffed medical center by diverting a subsidy now paid to the British Government.
