The guy was stupid in many respects but he kept india united for 17 years.there was no other indian politician and there won't be another who commanded respect of all sections of society.Not really man.
Nehru's blunder was not sufficiently stocking up before planning to fight the communist occupation of east Ladakh (called Aksai Chin). Preparing for a confrontation means that one must be sufficiently armed. Instead of accepting Soviet weapons, the fool wanted to make India a Gandhian state. I was shocked when I read it for the first time about his instructions to all the generals.
Failed to use a tactically superior air force; failed to make a fall back plan; failed to keep a strong ally's backing; failed at even retaking what was taken Pakistan in 1948.
how the fck did this idiot ever become India's PM is what I don't understand. He is Pappu G of his time.
That alone trumps his failures.
Believe me,without a central leader of nehru's peacenik behavior,we would have gone pakistan way.
No doubt the guy had little foresight but he was a nationalist to core.
