It is very easy to be critical of Pandit Nehru and his policies. But the circumstances he faced were not as favourable as they are now for maintaining the state machinery of a country like India. Everybody knows that Mahatma Gandhi is the propogator of 'non-violence' but many forget that the practical field work was done by Nehru. Supporting Formosa and Dalai Lama had positive political spirit and this spirit is the key of Indian success. China may be a big country with huge military strength, developed economy, high growth rate but all these are their government's successes, not the people's. The greatest success India has achieved over the last 60 years is that they have maintained the 'ballot box' successfully and whatever development is there in India is the development of the people. There are lots of differences between the achievemnets of China and those of India.
