The World Bank intends to reduce the amount of low-interest loans that India receives from the agency because of cutbacks in contributions from donor nations. A.W. Clausen, president of the World Bank, told a news conference last week that there would now be a ''mix'' of soft loans and hard loans.

After years of mounting tension that was brought to a head by events in Poland, the Soviet Union today delivered a scathing attack on the leadership of the Italian Communist Party, the largest in the West. A 5,000-word editorial in the Communist Party daily Pravda denounced the Italian Communists in language that was brutal by the standards of past disputes between the Soviet Union and Western European Communist parties. At one point, the editorial accused the Italians of following a policy of ''direct aid to imperialism,'' tantamount in Marxist terms to treason. ''Something monstrous has happened,'' Pravda said, citing the Italian Communists' practice of ''slandering'' the Soviet Union and its system over Poland, the East-West military confrontation and Soviet domestic policies.

Night after night, on street after street in a neighborhood of neat two-family homes in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, car windows have been shot out - more than a thousand in the last few months. ''It was getting so bad,'' one resident, Joe Trizzino, said yesterday, ''that you couldn't walk 10 blocks sometimes without seeing seven to 10 broken windows. My scoutmaster had to pay $120 to get his window fixed, and my grandfather had to pay $80.'' Outrage and Stakeouts But after two months of neighborhood outrage and police stakeouts, a suspect was arrested this weekend - a part owner of two Brooklyn shops that specialize in the replacement of broken automobile windows.

The Roman Catholic Primate of Poland, Archbishop Jozef Glemp, said in a sermon broadcast over national radio today that Poles had the right to honest information in the Government-controlled press and the right to know why they were being deprived of civil liberties. And in churches all over Poland a pastoral letter was read warning of the dangers of civil war and insisting on the right of workers to organize independent trade unions. The letter was drawn up last week by the Conference of Bishops. Taken together, the moves indicated that the powerful voice of the church hierarchy was united in an effort to bring intensive pressure on the military regime one day before Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, the Polish leader, is to deliver a major address to Parliament.

A 33-year-old freshman Congressman from Connecticut cast more votes last year against President Reagan than did any other member of the House. A tally of votes that appeared this month in Congressional Quarterly showed that in votes on which the President had taken a position, the Congressman, Samuel Gejdenson, had voted against Mr. Reagan 76 percent of the time. That figure took Mr. Gejdenson - pronounced GAY-den-son - somewhat by surprise. He had not planned, he said, to be the member of the House most antagonistic toward the President.
