  1. Nehru visited Norway in 1957. He told the Norwegian press: I shall leave myself in your hands. Modi visited in 2026. A journalist asked one question. He walked away.

    The distance between those two moments is the distance between two ideas of what India is.

  3. Nehru did not need to claim the title of Vishwaguru. The world came to India because India had something real to offer.
    What replaced it was twelve years of staging arrival at a world stage India had already occupied.
    The admirers, it turned out, had not been watching.

  4. Had a comment left on my site where I have some scans of photos taken by my grandad when he was stationed out in Singapore during and after World War II. I hadn't realised until the comment pointed it out that he was clearly there when Indian Nationalist leader Nehru came to visit and inspect the troops, making this 1946.

  6. Subramanian Swamy questions Nehru’s role in Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s death, citing evidence from Nehru’s private secretary. The comments come as Bose’s daughter, Anita Bose Pfaff, urges India to repatriate her father’s ashes from Japan. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/i #SubhasChandraBose #Netaji #SubramanianSwamy #Nehru

  7. ⬆️ @homohortus

    >> #NAM Non-alignment, initially a posture of neutrality during the #ColdWar, evolved into implicit support for the #USSR. This movement, born from the desire … not to align themselves with the blocs, was influenced by leaders such as [#India's] #Nehru and [#Egypt's] #Nasser.

    Also #Yugoslavia's Josip Broz #Tito, who served as the leader of the #NonAlignedMovement.

    #US doctrine was same during Cold War as it was with #GeorgeWBush: "You're either with us or with #terrorists"

  8. Happy #IndependenceDay to all Indians around the world! It is my annual ritual to read Jawaharlal #Nehru's amazing #TrystWithDestiny speech on this day. I just found this video that has the speech audio and transcript.

    If you are new to this speech, a little bit of context. #India became an independent country on August 15, 1947 after 190 years of British #colonial rule. In preparation for the transfer of power, a Constituent Assembly was created... 1/

  10. Why did India fail to industrialise where East Asia succeeded?

    Pulapre Balakrishnan’s ‘India’s Economy from Nehru to Modi’ offers a valuable account of India’s economic history but neglects the social and political elements inseparable from it, writes Shashank Kela.

  12. Nehru Killed 370 Way Before Modi Buried It

    It is clear that Nehru had no intention of holding any plebiscite, nor letting go of "this part of Kashmir state." In fact, his note to Sheikh Abdullah clearly outlines why Kashmir is essential for India's national security and strategic needs. Aunindyo Chakravarty writes. (Article from August 2019)

    The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) will now be called Prime Ministers Museum and Society.

  18. This is a petty attempt to erase the legacy of Nehru and make the Modi government appear more important. It's shameful that our leaders are so focused on rewriting history.

  19. In State Repression and Its Justification, India and Israel Have Much in Common

    Azad Essa's 'Hostile Homelands: The New Alliance Between India and Israel' has courage and integrity. It traces the beginning of India-Israel ties, unmasks successive governments, and carries a warning for the future

  23. @Pizza_p_Parker #Mountbattens, weren’t the happy couple they pretended to be. I suppose Lady M found her pleasure outside marriage by necessity. When he was the last Royal over the Raj, his wife had an affair w/ #Nehru. Apparently she helped ease the transition. ; ) Going public about his perversion wasn’t done even though it was an open secret to the #rf. #Charles knew. Did QEII ? I wonder.

    I.got muddled for a second there and briefly thought "we will never surrender" was a quote from #Nehru out the original #Gandhi

    but i think it's actually #Churchill ?

    i found this when #ModiSurrendersToChina came up as a suggestion for #Modi

    Ever since the days of #Nehru the gov't of India #GoI has kept its head firmly in the sand wrt. #PRC and its 'string of pearls' encircling #India. If there are coordinating offices looking at these issues they are a well-kept secret. #NGOs could expand understanding of India's neighbourhood and potentially help those neighbours understand India better too. Mr #Modi doesn't strike me as someone keen on NGOs though...

    One key neighbour #Tibet is obviously off-limits under hostile CCP rule, but full understanding of its non-military situation sounds kind of worthy objective, one would think.

    Ultimately #injustice and #instability in the neighbourhood are also a matters of #NatSec.

    “In extending the colonial trope of treating Tibet as the object of British interests……Indian diplomats too bracket away Tibet’s agency in determining its relationship with independent India and the PRC.”

  32. @itssynecdoche In India, it's Nov 14 (Nehru's bday). World Children's Day is Nov 20 when the Declaration of the Rights of the Child came into force. Other countries celebrate Childrens Day on different dates.
