Reality check
by A K on Mar 25, 2008 05:24 PM

Lets forget whether it is Advani or someone else making this statement. Every Indian needs to come out clearly on this.... Nehru has been reponsible for major problems whether it is China / Tibet or Kashmir /Pakistan. It is really sad that Sardar Patel, the iron man who despite majority support could not be the first PM due to some strange support by M Gandhi to Nehru. India needed the leadership of the Iron Man. And typically once a leader (read: Nehru) is placed on a pedestal with a halo, no one wants to speak the truth. I have not met any fellow Indian who thinks differently. Then why cant we speak out ?? Yes, we need not dwell on the past mistakes but can we not have the courage to say Nehru's policies were a miserable mistake ? No disaster to hit India was so devastating as Nehru ? Notwithstanding all the Tsunamis, Bhuj and others.
