Some of the points raised by Mr Rajeev are absolutely correct. Indians have always been at the forefront of all Humanitarian cause. But internationally India has been only publicised as a backward looking nation and seeped in medival beliefs and where people are tortured. and most of the publicity has been done by our own so-called non-govenmental social organisation. what they present is a half-picture. Indians have always been used and canon-fodder , earlier by Britain and now by UN. and teh irony is even most of the Indians dont know that their valient soldiers are fighting for humanitarian causes in foreign lands. Govt of India should take care that more and more Indians know about its services. This also increases the feeling of national pride and remove some of the inhibitions which some sections of the society have.
Nehru was a great intellectual , but had always been carried away by the greed of gaining statesman image in the world and being called an apostal of peace. It was his great blunders which continue to haunt India in the form of Kashmir militancy, China's occupation of Indian territory, Backward looking ideology , etc.,
