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.

Here's a guy who speaks differently my dear friend..democracy, IITs, IIMs, all the dams, all the research organistaions...everything is because of the great nehru..had we left the country to dogmatic jan sangha and rss guys...India would be in hands of lunatics who believe that god is above everything...you need a lesson on nehru..and unfortunately you are too old for it i guess...people who think nehru was outdated need some updation themselves...nehru was an idealist..and if you call a fellow who is an idealist a fool..then all the gods who have thought us good ideals are fools....he trusted people around hhim becasue he was a good man....he separated his personal from the public..that is greatness...

Yeah. If Nehru wasn't there, Muslim League wouldn't be there, vote bank politics wouldn't have been there, and the entire nation would have unforunately been developed like Gujarat. Pity, that was not to be. Lucky for Rahul, this was to be.
