Nehru isn't but his admirers are .....
India in 1947 and China in 1949 chose two very different paths.
India under gandhi - Nehru clan went the secular democracy way, while China embarked on the road to Communism with Chinese characteristics.
Seventy years later, China is a veritable superpower and has lifted a humongous 300 million people out of poverty.
In contrast, India has impoverished itself, content with just one quarter of China's size of economy.
India still has intellectual imbeciles, asking what legacy Nehru got when the British departed. The imbecility of the question may well be answered by a counter question about China, Singapore, war ravaged Germany-Japan. And can one gainsay, the British gave us nothing at all? No railways, no bridges or buildings but only what the Mughal did by conversions of Hindus and Hindu structures into what we see around in the shape of minorities so called and Taj Mahals inter alia ?
