I wanted to share this since 27th May, the death anniv. of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, our first Prime Minister, one of the tallest leaders of our freedom movement, & the builder of modern India. A democrat to the core, here's an interview we must watch++
To understand his thorough democratic & progressive spirit & insight, note this: Right at the beginning of the interview, they talk about an article Pandit Nehru wrote against himself, posing as a critic, and even got it published in Modern Review. ++ https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/we-want-no-caesars/292586
"What I wrote then was..it was really a humourous piece that I wrote....not what I conceive myself to be wholly but still what might be aspects of my nature...of course a person who could write that about himself, well, he can hardly ever be what he says he might become."... ++
This is how the great leader contributed to self improvement & growth! Only someone very secure & confident of his good side can exaggerate & talk of his little negative tendencies so satirically: just shows how much he himself was against those & how he could keep them curbed.++
Importantly, for those who go to town blaming him for being a "Leftist", hear the interview from 16.51 min to 21.20 min. He explains his stand on & critique of communism, and expresses beliefs & opinions thoroughly democratic, seeking happiness of the individual & the society.++
If you listen to his interviews and read his work, you will feel we can still do quite well with a few more Pandit Nehrus with us. I am sure all right minded citizens of India will agree with this..
