Jawaharlal Nehru was the first Prime Minister of Independent India, and its longest-serving till date, being in office for more than 16 years. Nehru was a barrister by profession, and played a key role in India’s freedom movement. He is often called the architect of modern India, laying the foundations of a free, independent and modern India. Nehru is also celebrated for his charisma, and huge crowds used to turn up to hear him speak.
Born into a privileged, educated family, he was sent to England at age 15 to study. He returned with democratic and liberal values. Nehru was a socialist at heart, and his policies reflected that. Nehru promoted a pluralistic multi-party democracy in India. He implemented moderate socialist economic reforms and committed India to a policy of industrialisation. In foreign affairs, he played a leading role in establishing the Non-Aligned Movement. Under Nehru’s leadership, the Congress emerged as a catch-all party, dominating national and state-level politics and winning elections in 1951, 1957 and 1962.
Some of the highlights of his tenure as prime minister included the India-Pakistan war of 1947-48, the India-China war of 1962, the reorganisation of states along linguistic lines, the Five-Year plans setting up of IITs, IIMS, ISRO, DRDO, among others. Nehru died while in office, serving as the PM for the fourth time.
Nehru was best suited to handle Jammu and Kashmir as being a Kashmiri he knew the people’s psychology, had a wide network among KP’s and prominent Muslim leaders and also had contacts with Red hats that were vital assets for India. What we gained by quick action on military front, we post on geography. At least we should have got Gilgit-Baltistan under our control.
India is Nehru….and Nehru is India….the man and later his family lived and lives for India….but most indians are wretched ungrateful people and believe fake news and lies of hindu terrorists who never fought for independence but always stayed loyal to the british….it is nehrus vision and the foundation he gave to our ciuntry that the world looked at india with respect…+even after his death his vision of democratic secular india lived for 50 more years….
then came the evil people who had caused indias partition with 2 nation theory and muslim hate….nehru patel realized the threat rss and hindutvawadis were for india…and patel even banned rss…latercthe ban was lifted after extracting the promise that they will never fight elections….but sadly after their death rss finally came into their own and through their political arm bjp ended the democratic and especially secular fibre of india….for the first time religion entered politics andcthe disease took root….finally after 50 years of his death rss won over nehrus india through the lies and fake news they spread through the whatsapp university and their it cell
what nehrus india gainedin 60 years was systematically destroyed in the last 6 years….now india and its media is looked with ridicule and disdain by rest of the world…and india herself is staring at bankruptcy….like mr khushwant singh said in his book End of India which he wrote after seeing the 2002 carnage “no country will destroy india….indians will do hara-kiri”
his words proved prophetic.
There is a saying in Guru Shishya Parampara that one must not forget the Ladder through which one climbs to the top. It is very easy to develop and progress well once a strong foundation is laid. Blaming Nehru for everything is similar to that. He did make mistakes – for that matter which politicians, including the current ones, are above Board?
Nehru the root cause of India’s peace problems. The breed has ultimately damaged India for their political greeds. MKG had always been fooled to get his suicidal supports.
