| About Book | This is a very iinsihtful assessment of Pandit Nehru's Prime Ministerial tenure. It brings out the very positive features which enabled the country to flower as a Democracy despite all the tremendous constraints and conditions. It definitely brings out our deep debt to him for India being a beacon of the rule of the PEOPLE particularly considering its failure to take root in most of the other newly independent countries. However on the other hand it is also realistic assessment of the aspects where Nehru failed to do justice to all that he could considering his ability and popularity with the resullt that India is saddled with a number of intractable problems which could very well have been avoided or at least not become so. It also brings out the fact of his inability to take good advice based on merits of the advice, particularly those from Sardar Patel, but to discount valuable advice if he (Nehru), was not favourable to the person . iT IS Amgiving the advice. It i s a must read book for anyone exercising power who wishes to leave a lasting positive legacy. The fact that both sides are dealt with rationally and fairly and based on factual documents and information makes this a valuable addition to the history of Free India |
