Nehru Gandy ensured we forgot everyone and only remember them

He lived like Maharaja on public money and no one asked where do you get that money from ?

A humble tribute to this great soul. His political leadership during 1965 war will remain his biggest contribution to the nation. His decision to OK crossing IB saved us from a potential 4th Battle of Panipat.

A deeper study of 1965 was will tell you that there was more to it than simply taking Kashmir under Op Gibraltar. It was the last push to undertake a massive re-organization of physical landscape of South Asia. There was a method to madness of 'having tea at Red Fort' statement.
I shudder to think what would've been the outcome had Nehru being the PM during 1965 war!
