“When the world sleeps, India
will awake to life & freedom.”
Nehru became Gandhi's right hand in early days in India till the very end. |
From freedom struggle to being
the first prime minister of India, Nehru gave his life for future generations.
He protected India’s diversity at a time when political thinkers, social
scientists & world leaders all across the globe declared that it is
impossible for a nation like India to survive with so many religions, languages,
cultures and other diversities.
He not only protected India from
becoming ‘Hindu Pakistan’ but earned a respectable place for the nascent poor
country at the world stage. A country whose survival was being questioned
started playing role in brokering peace deals between warring nations. He gave
us a foundation on which we have today proudly built a prosperous, Secular,
respected & truly free nation.
Though the two main political
parties of India are fighting over ideologies & leaders, we must not forget
that every leader belongs to every Indian. So we owe to our Chacha Nehru for
keeping democracy, secularism, freedom of expression, religion & liberal
values alive.
Happy 125th Birth Anniversary to great freedom struggler,
true patriot, liberal thinker, statesman and a world leader.
Nehru ji, U kept your word. India
is certainly Alive & Free.
