RE:INDIA TIBET CHINA
by Ramesh Nittoor on May 03, 2008 10:31 PM

Singha,
Nehru was born with a silver spoon, he could have most luxurious life, instead he chose the path of emancipating India. His struggle included spent 17 years in British jails, thinking how to better India. He did not compromise politically, wrote fascinating books about India, was above caste and communal feelings, and possessed genuine intellectual integrity. Unlike many English educated Indians he did not have contempt for masses, but genuine love for the toiling people and this perhaps drove him leftwards. India was blessed with stalwarts like Gandhi, Patel, Subhas, Nehru, Ambedkar, Rajaji.. the list is a long one and let us accept their strengths with pride, and receive their failures with grace.
