Its amazing to read people how people in 2007 look at things that happened 45 yrs ago.I am appalled by people calling names to our first prime minister Nehru.Some people wish Sardar patel would have made a better prime minister.But few people know that its Sadar himself who recommended Nehru as prime minister.You think Sadar knew or care less about this country to recommend nehru.Nehru always been problem for RSS people.its political ploy by RSS(BJP) to defame Gandhiji , Nehru & "Ghandi" family.But if ask the most popular prime minster of recent time A B Bajpayee,he wd tell how much respect he holds for Nehru and legacy.so does Bajpayee did know or care less about country to call a sissy and cowardly Nehru, the prime minister he admired most.
So Sadar patel or AB Bajpayee are worng and a spy agency like CIA is right.
The same CIA who failed on 9/11 and on the basis of whose report USA invaded Iraq only to find no weapon of MD ,getting trapped in Quagmire situation reminding Vietnam.
While nobody gives a shit to what CIA says ,why we indians jump the moment CIA declassify somthing about us.
1962 war is just like Kargil intrusion by pakistan 1999 ,while in Kargil we managed to evict pakistanis due to our military might ,we failed aganist china due to the same reason.China still hold 3 time military power than india.

Nehru made lots of mistake ,but who you have to see those in the context of that time ,be his forien policy or socialist economic policy.At the same time ,he also put the foundation of modern in India.From SAIL to Bhaba AtomicResearch,iits,iims,isro are few of marvels of modern india started during his tenure.
If Gandhi and Nehru destroyed this country,what the so called soviors of this country doing 60 yr after the death of Gandhi and 45 yrs after the death of Nehru.

Nehru's faults are grave indeed and not changed by the fact that he died more than 40 years ago. The only trouble is that for all Bhatat's claim to be great power, under Nehru's it has proved an insgnificant.
This is underlined by the reply Dr Singh made to Rice's comment referring to NAM as being irrelevant today. The plain fact is that no one in the Nehru clan had the intellectual capacity to update such sacred cows. I grant that Indira Gandhi proved manly when she partioned Pakistan. How much of an achievement was that? Instead of one but now the two of them are upto their usual tricks. A General has remarked that it would have been a wiser strategy to have left Pakistan intact with all the problems of defending long lines of communications.
Rajiv Gandhi was supposed to have heralded in modernity to India with his interest in technology but with Shah Bano he totally discredited himself as Sonia has with Afzal. Neither did he see the sense in dismantling the licence raj. Gordon Brown has shown that even with a Britsh PM who has been described as dour in comparison to Blair, his Government has been able to rope in considerable talent in comparison to Singh's Government.
The Nehru's have ruthlessly killed off any challenge to their rule. Did Bharat fight for independence to have another set of despots rule over them in the place of the British?
