I found this piece of text (below) while surfing the Wikipedia which might provide an counter argument to your view. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_and_the_United_Nations#UN_Security_Council)

Apart from this, Nehru might have done some blunders with his innocence or stubbornness. But BJP with full knowledge & thirst for votes committed (so called) Ayodhya & Godhra blunder. Nehru atleast repented for his mistakes. But there seems to be no remorse for you !

I wish elders like you change the party atleast now !

Note: I do not support Congress dynasty. But I don’t look at you as an alternative either !

I have followed your blog for sometime and being a sincere admirer of BJP, I want to share this with you and my fellow citizens also let me tell that I represent the youth who does not have time for politics and few who take time in knowing our past.

Advaniji, I completely understand the emotion in which you write this post. The congress might have joined in the freedom struggle but they always had agenda of who has to rule in the future. Its sad that we are still under king (Family rule). This is the basic principle on which the BJP was formed that it will be more secular, democratic and thats why, its a Bharatiya Janata party.

But somewhere we are forgetting that, Congress is too smart and I am sure they have few hundred brand managers and party workers who are working on the image of the party continuously. BJP does not do this. Let us tell people what BJP stands for, sell our idea of future and build this nation. Give us youngsters some chance to work for the party.

I have always been your admirer, both as a person of high integrity and as an able, astute politician who has brought the B.J.P. to its present stature.

As a political party, the BJP has a long way to go. To get a clear majority in the Lok Sabhs as well as in the states which are not under the rule of BJP. But we also will have to give a thought -rather serious thought to the fact that inspite of the misrule of the congress Party,why are the people ,particularly. the followers of Congress Party, can not think of anyone to lead them who is not related with Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, either directly or even remotely, as does the present congress president ?

Why is there not even one person in that party who will be acceptable as its Pressident? When we get an answer to this question, I think, then the legacy of Nehru’s wrong policies and politics,futhered by his daughter Indira Gandhi and her progeny will be corrected.

1 Refusal to accept a U.S. offer in 1955 of a permanent seat in the U.N. Security Council.
2 Taking the KASHMIR matter to UN
2 Agreeing to hold Plebiscite in UNITED KASHMIR

Dr. Manmohan Singh’s foreign policy blunders :

1. Signing of faulty nuclear deal.
2. Mentioning Balochistan in Sharm-el-Sheikh joint statement .
3. Dr. Manmohan Singh’s External Affairs SM Krishna statement “Whenever there are incursions on either side, there is a built-in mechanism which takes care of things.As compared to other countries, the Indo-China boundary is most peaceful. These incursions will be sorted out,”.

Possibly Nehru felt it was sufficient if we had IITs and IIMs. India is known by them. But, India is also known by Asok@Dilbert more than our own Asoka !

What did anyone else do ? My leaders let me down. They had a chance. But got bogged down by the coalition politics pressures, may be.

FYI - I am not an IIT/ IIM guy.

I lived in West Germany all of 60s, studying then working. I was surprised that every child there had to go to school till 15 and then could continue either higher studies or go for vocational training.They had no choice as otherwise parents will lose child care and there will be no job in future.

Just imagine if every Indian would have studied upto 10th standard from 1947 onwards ! I am ashamed today when my plumber, mason, fruit/bhajiwalla can’t read and write.

Nehru felt it was sufficient if we have IITs and IIMs.

Most don’t know Nehru was anointed no.1 in Congress by Gandhiji in 1929 when he was 40. Over next years his Know-All Arrogance and Intransigent Attitude alienated Muslim Leadership as he refused to consider their political concerns. Over next one and half decade Muslim demand went from separate electorate to autonomous Bengal/ Punjab to Pakistan! A Pakistan which is bleeding us perpetually. You can’t reach your true destiny without knowing your History and your Forefathers.

I agree with your comments. what u have quoted is 100% correct.

I am still thinking in last 60 years why India was not able to get a PM like Patel… India had Nehru and we are seeing what’s the outcome of it….and now we keep getting only clones of him. We really need to think Why Patel’s Policy died once he died….. the only way you can regain his policy back and put India back on track to resolve all issues is if you get another of Gujarati Farmer’s Son and let him run the country. Also Gujarat is the only state that never adopted Nehru’s Policy.. it still believes in Patel’s Policy and still follows it. Just compare the the growth of Gurath with other states and you would see the difference between Nehru’s policy with Sardar Patel’s policy…
