Other deaths Ex-governor of India dies New York Times News Service NEW DELHI Chakravarti Rajagopa-lachari, 94, former governor general of India, died in Madras yesterday after a week's illness. A close associate of the late Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, Rajaji as he was affectionately called by Indians took part in India's struggle for independence from England, was a talented administrator and later a severe critic of government policies. He was a great admirer of the United States and corresponded with President John F. Kennedy, whom he visited in Washington. During his varied 60-year career, Rajaji won universal praise as a statesman, social reformer, thinker, writer, administrator, nonconformist and genius, but was attacked for some of his unpopular sayings and actions.

He was the first to suggest the creation of Pakistan out of the Moslem-dominated areas of British India, and the only Indian leader to triticize Nehru for ordering the invasion of the Portuguese enclave of Goa in 1961.
