One has to learn from history and must not follow it blindly. Nehru was a great statesman and whatever we are today, it is because of that great man. The policies enunciated by him, was very relevant for his time. But those are not relevant today. For the sake of our children, the Nuclear deal is a must even if we have to remain subservient to the US for sometime. In this context, let me ask whether we were not subservient to Russia during Nehru's time. Nehru was the first international politician to criticize Anglo-French aggression against Egypt during Suez Canal crisis. But same Nehru kept mum during Russian annexation of Hungary which took place only a few years after Suez Canal crisis
