NEW YORK — India's avowal of support for the Arab cause in the Mideast crisis has sparked much criticism from her critics and the India press. Critics affirm that India's neutralism and nonalignment have withered and that India acted hastily in announcing its position at the United Na- tions. Classifieds Get Quick Results Prime Minister Indira ISRAEL Gandhi said the predomin- antly Hindu state followed a "consistent and firm" policy in the Middle East. She denied that "public opinion" was against India's unwav- ering support of the Arabs. However, politicians, edi- torials and letters to news- papers have attacked the government position, calling its intervention "very child- ish." One political leader said, "By rushing to hold Israel responsible for the present war our government has destroyed what little possibility there was for tM play of constructive diplo- macy." Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia reduced by 10 per cent sup- plies of crude oil to India's state-owned oil corporation. She is also angered as a re- sult of being dropped from the Saudis' list of favored nations, despite her recent avowal of the Arab cause.
