Here are some disadvantages or criticisms of Jawaharlal Nehru's tenure as India's Prime Minister, presented concisely: 1. Economic Policies: Overemphasis on a socialist model led to slow economic growth, inefficiencies, and the "license raj" system, hindering private enterprise. 2. Kashmir Issue: Mishandling of the Kashmir conflict and referring it to the UN is often criticized for prolonging the dispute. 3. China Relations: His trust in China led to the 1962 Sino-Indian War, resulting in a humiliating defeat and territorial loss. 4. Centralized Planning: Focus on heavy industries neglected agriculture, causing food shortages and dependency on imports. 5. Neglect of Defense: Insufficient attention to military preparedness left India vulnerable to external threats. 6. Dynastic Politics: Accused of paving the way for dynastic rule by promoting his family within Indian politics. 7. Linguistic Issues: His language policies, particularly around the imposition of Hindi, created unrest in non-Hindi-speaking regions.

How Nehru Became Prime Minister 1. 1946 Congress Presidency Election: Before independence, the Congress Party held an internal election for the presidency. The elected leader was expected to lead independent India. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had overwhelming support (12 of 15 Pradesh Congress Committees nominated him). However, Mahatma Gandhi strongly influenced the final decision. He believed Nehru’s modern worldview and appeal to younger generations made him the ideal leader for post-independence India. Patel, out of respect for Gandhi, stepped aside, allowing Nehru to lead.

Nehru's policies of democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, unity and secularism reflect our great ancient land's ethos and values. India's nationalism is based on these fundamental principles, and they are enshrined in our constitution. Nehru was scholar extraordinaire. His Autobiography, Discovery of India, Glimpses of World History, etc., are remarkable books. More so, the Autobiography which is written in "superlative prose" without a touch of self-pity or moral superiority. When I'm in a state of boredom or restiveness I read a couple of pages, at random, from one of these books for comfort and cheer. Viva Jawaharlal Nehru, a noble man of the highest ideals.

Timely book and interview. Sick and tired of listening to malicious campaign against Nehru Ji and Mahatma Gandhi Ji. Its been like abusing your own forefathers for being visionaries as our neighbours are parochial and ruined, and a religion in far away lands is turning into a fundamentalist force, hence we dont need to celebrate that our forefathgers encouraged diversity. Its like cutting off your nose to spite the face. Disclaimer: Admirers are not slaves; we acknowledge the failings of Nehru Ji: China policy, his condescending attitude towards the Americans, etc. It's part of the package - he spent his entire life for India, achieved plenty and failed in some. He remains in our heart as the founder of India's nationhood, nurtured with affection and confidence but without any malice to the past. Imagine if Nehru Ji was not the first PM, India would have focussed on expressing its hatred towards all those who had plundered it in the past - Afghanistan, Iran, Portugal, Britain, Holland, France; anyone left? Instead, he channelised the angst of the majority to focus on rebuilding India - compare this with those who founded pakistan; their one-point agenda was spreading hatred against India. And look where they are now!

[@sureshponkshe2857]

Nehru was, Nehru is, and Nehru will remain for many years to come - the greatest visionary, best architect, most able statesmen, and the greatest Indian post the freedom struggle. People critize him for gifting some parts to China etc., but had it not been for him (& the help JFK gave to stop China), most of India would have been with China by now, and India anyways would never have been the India we see today & instead would have been in taters like Pakistan. For that India owes the very highest honor & respect, to its greatest sons, like it owes to Jamshedji, Tilak, M.K. Gandhi. Gokhale, Bose, Bhagat Singh, Sardar Patel and other freedom fighters. To forget, malign, belittle, ridicule them, would indeed be most unsavory & insane. For this reason, I believe this book has absolutely come at the right time and is worth every Indian & world leaders time. Because who better than Nehru to guide us in these turbulent times, the road ahead, and the discovery of a New & Old India, a India we hope, we dream, a India we all love so dearly.

[@hardeekpatel1944]

Here are some of Jawaharlal Nehru's policies often criticized as being among the worst or most flawed during his tenure: 1. Economic Policy: His focus on a socialist, state-controlled economy and heavy industries led to inefficiencies, the "license raj," and slow economic growth. Neglect of private enterprise hindered innovation and competitiveness. 2. China Policy: His idealistic "Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai" (India-China brotherhood) approach ignored China's territorial ambitions, leading to the 1962 Sino-Indian War and India's defeat. 3. Kashmir Policy: Mishandling of the Kashmir conflict by taking it to the United Nations, resulting in a prolonged dispute. Failure to resolve the issue decisively created lasting tensions with Pakistan. 4. Defense Neglect: Underestimated the importance of military preparedness, leaving India vulnerable to external threats, particularly during the war with China. 5. Language Policy: Attempt to impose Hindi as the national language caused resentment in southern states, leading to linguistic conflicts. 6. Dynastic Politics: Promoting his daughter, Indira Gandhi, within the Congress party is seen as the foundation of dynastic politics in India. 7. Food and Agriculture: Focus on industrialization sidelined agricultural development, resulting in food shortages and dependency on foreign aid, like the U.S. PL-480 wheat imports.

Jawaharlal Nehru himself was not directly accused of corruption, but his leadership faced criticism for not addressing corruption effectively in some areas. Here are key points: 1. Lack of Strong Anti-Corruption Measures: Nehru's government did not implement strict mechanisms to tackle corruption, allowing it to grow at bureaucratic and political levels. 2. Jeep Scandal (1948): The first major corruption case in independent India happened under his tenure, involving the purchase of military jeeps. While Nehru was not directly involved, critics argued that he did not handle the issue firmly. 3. Inefficient Governance: Nehru's socialist policies led to excessive government control, creating opportunities for bribery and misuse of power in the "license raj" system. 4. Turning a Blind Eye: Nehru was often accused of ignoring allegations of corruption within his party or among close associates, prioritizing loyalty over accountability.

Amartya sen is anti Sanatani tradition . Neon Y praises non Hindus such as Akbar and Ashok Because he falsely believed that Buddhism was different from Sanatani dharma. Nehru objected to Sanskrit as the national language. He did not understand communalism atall. He gave away Kashmir He lied about R SS as you are . Muslims are allowed to have four wives , and sharia law .Indian education never taught about Indic mathematics or ontology . It glorified Islam . No mention of the destruction of all universities and temples. Genocide and history. He has no understanding of Non dualism.. everything wrong in following J S Mill
