The development of todays India is a result of strong cultural heritage of Indian people,Remember Nehruvians always despise it.
If Nehru was visionary he would have worked to create more leaders, instead he stuck himself to PM seat & left it to be ruled by his family..
All that you have listed would have been done by any normal person at that time, & may be even better...
Education was a hallmark of Indian nation. when British came to India, the Nation had longest continuous schooling system (more than 700 years) (c/o Time & Life books on India) One of the reason for the first revolt in 1857 against British was because they try to end the Schooling system.
