Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Ji was dealing with an exceptional crisis. He was the first and only PM of India who had to face such a situation that had impacted every part of India and every aspect of life.
330 million people of India were at risk of famines, epidemics, illiteracy, superstition, religious hate, discrimination, undivided India and fanatic religious forces.
Some were saying India won’t survive the freedom, Some were saying that it would be a failed nation and will be decimated due to diversity of ethnic, religious, cast, creed and multiple languages. Some said that it was a suicidal attempt to get freedom.
Some were saying - from where India will get the resources to develope and thrive? Everyone had retrospective opinions but NONE has to bear the responsibility of 330 million people. Only he had to!
If India wouldn’t have succeeded, then he would have gotten targeted. He has succeeded, but he is still getting targeted because some fanatic religious and social forces always wanted India to fail. Nehru ji has always been at the receiving end despite all the great work he did.
You call for a nation of 330 million to start fresh. For the poor to risk going without food. The rich cry that their earnings have stopped and their lifestyles are thwarted. Middle-class says ‘you’re not doing enough to help us financially.’ Again, primarily criticism.
A ~59 year old man bearing the weight of 330 million people and expectations many times that without flinching, without digressing, without levelling accusations at other, and without giving excuses. Yes, it is his responsibility, but he too is human. The pressure.
Despite all that he did with single-minded concentration for the nation, something that is unparalleled in our history, he never once asks for praise. One after the other he’s dealing with India’s core issues, and then to add problems comes the Plague and War with China.
This thread is simply my thoughts. I felt that if I were in his shoes I’d be terrified at the daunting problem we are facing. I’d honestly not want to be in his seat. Would you?
I simply thought of thanking Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru for his alertness, his humility, and his pragmatism
