Nehruvian World View
A lot is commented on Nehru’s so-called ‘Idea of India’ when actually it was nothing but an immature fascination with the Soviet Marxist- Communist system (which laid the foundations of India’s poverty and misery) as something scientific, rational, modern and historically pre- destined; coupled with his fake “secularism”, which had...
An error in the Indian maps shows territory as large as Sikkim or Goa in Arunachal Pradesh as belonging to China. The error has yet to be corrected. Extracts below from an article by Madhav Nalapat in ‘The Sunday Guardian’ of 23 August 2014 are self-explanatory: “Prime Minister Manmohan Singh rejected an...
Edwina was buried at sea in 1960, as per her will—a tribute to Mountbatten’s naval career. British frigate Wakeful which carried her body to the sea off Spithead, a channel off southern England, was escorted by an Indian frigate Trishul—such importance India under Nehru gave her. Contrast this with the...
Corruption is worse than prostitution. The latter might endanger the morals of an individual, the former invariably endangers the morals of the entire country. —Karl Kraus, 19th century satirist Nehru did not mind others dirtying their hands to raise funds for the Congress Party and for other purposes—what mattered was power for...

No freedom fighter could raise as much amount as Netaji Subhas did. He appealed to the patriotism of an estimated two million Indians in erstwhile British colonies conquered by his Japanese allies for donations to finance his government-in-exile and the Indian National Army (INA). Netaji’s personality, his emotive speeches and...
India’s poverty is self-inflicted, thanks to the self-destructive policies followed, even though prescriptions for prosperity were available off-the- shelf for many years, and there were any number of real, practical examples to go by. Had Nehru’s government focused on its primary responsibilities and desisted getting into business, had it allowed...
Deliberate Nehruvian–Marxist Distortions. Rather than doing what has been elaborated in the previous sub- chapter/blunder, the concerned establishments came to be dominated by the self-serving babu-academics, and the Nehruvians, Marxists, and Socialists who bureaucratised the academics and ensured emasculation of the direction to what suited the Marxist world-view, and the convenience...
