Eisenbud, J. (1954) In the Minds of Men: In March 1949 the Ministry of Education of the new government of India applied to UNESCO for help in a systematic study of social tensions among the people of India. This long-festering problem had become terrifyingly acute during the mass riots leading up to and following the partition of the country in 1947. UNESCO invited Dr. Gardner Murphy, then head of the Psychology Department of City College, New York, to serve the Indian universities as consultant. Dr. Murphy spent six months in India helping to set up integrated research on the problem by university workers. He here reports the background and results of this research..
