This is what the people of Turkey want.

If you claim to love #Democracy, that is, the will of the people, then you should be happy with this result.
Erdogan is a #Democrat. He is not #Liberal. He converted the #HagiaSophia into a mosque.

"Secularism for Gandhi had a very simple principle: no privileges for d majority. Nehru was in Bihar in d bloody days of 1946. Bhagalpur was in the grip of anti-Muslim violence. To restrain d attacking rioters, d military opened fire and nearly 400 were killed.

Nehru felt a disquiet about d deaths, as he confessed to PadmajaNaidu. Nevertheless he was satisfied that strong action has been taken against d rioters.

situation that faced them, Jawaharlal Nehru & Vallabhbhai Patel reached out to the most able individuals regardless of party affiliation. Although B.R. Ambedkar had been a bitter critic of the Congress for the past 20 years, he was asked to become law minister.

In 1954, April, Nehru shamelessly agreed all the demands put forth by China and handed over the Domicile rights of India over #tibet to China. Nehru was at the edge to give up Sikkim & Bhutan (Shino-India Treaty)
