-NEHRUJI–Thoughts on his birthday–14 Nov.2014i
Nehruji was described as a procession of men–patriot, freedom fighter
literary figure, staesman and a great humanist. One more quality needs to be added to
this formidable list. His capacity to forgive.
Though, during his turbulent career, he had had to spent over nine years of his
life in prison. Panditji’s decision to remain within the Commonwealth was
an exemplary decision of forgive and forget. in the interest of the country.This
decision was reported to have taken even Sir Winston Churchill pleasantly
surprised.
Nehruji’s books “Glimpses of World History”and “Discovery of India” are
classics of their genre.He headed the non-alignment group with Nasser and
authored the Panchsheel doctrine.
the Chinese volte face was a great disappointment to him and perhaps
hastened his tryst with destiny.
