Under Nehru, India used to beg and get surplus wheat from USA under the PL 480 program. Only when Shastri came to power, and saw India had zero food stocks, he decided to do something about it and start the Green Revolution

Shastri did more in one year, than what Nehru did in 16 https://twitter.com/shahid_siddiqui/status/1248663446318534656">https://twitter.com/shahid_si...

Another Fun Fact, For its milk, India relied on milk powder handouts from New Zealand and England. When Dr Kurien, explained the Amul Model to him in the 50s, Nehru dismissed him out of hand.

He took the word of British and Kiwi experts, and dismissed Indian milk as poor quality

It was again Shastri who instituted White Revolution and Operation Flood.

Nehru did jackshit for India& #39;s food supplies.

And I am ignoring your 50 years ago mistake, because sycophants are stupid

Nehru actually believed foreign milk powder was better and more nutritious than actual Indian milk. That was his vision.

Nehru was your typical foreign return racist Uncle, who dissed Everything Indian, despite him being Indian himself.

And we made him our PM.
