The paths of glory lead but to the grave; from dust to dust. The true test of greatness must be reckoned by how many people were lifted out of poverty, how much, in material terms, people’s lives were improved. That might sound unduly materialistic but, at our stage of progress – or China’s a few years ahead of us – that should be a great leader’s lasting legacy. This is not to take away from Mrs Gandhi’s many admirable qualities, for which she will always be remembered.
Giving credit to peace in Punjab to IG is misplaced. She created bhindranwale, failed to control after affects and finally gave her life. Her son also failed to bring the peace back. It was PVNR’s idea of conducting elections and selecting the right team did the wonders. But delhi press doesn’t want to tell the truth.
An interesting article by all means.As stated despite her many failings she can not be faulted on her policy on external affairs and still has many admireres, me included.
Modi is no match to compare with IG. IG is IG.Modi is shortsightedas far as politics is concerned.
