India’s first working PM (India’s first PM, provisional, was Netaji) Jawaharlal #Nehru , who remained PM of our poverty stricken country for 17 years consecutively, could call to his credit only a single AIIMS, an ISRO, a BARC, a few IITs & a handful…1/9
of money guzzling Public Sector Enterprises (white elephants) to maintain whom Indian tax payers had to pay through their noses. This is the legacy that #Congress party, Gandhis & their acolytes tom-tom about. Is it really worth it, forget bragging about it?? Shameful !!…2/9
A nation neck deep in poverty & illiteracy, in the first 17 plus years were denied food, roads, health, poverty alleviation programmes, housing, toilets, drinking water and electrification. In the name of education, there were these hand full of institutions developed…3/9
for elites just to show case them to the world and win accolades. Schools & colleges for the masses were not the focus. In addition, whole curriculum was infested with Marxist ideology, dishing out compromised and ‘sanitized’ history, leading to shrillness & discord today…4/9
On the economy front, again focus was on creating these spectacular behemoths which sucked in money & promoted bureaucracy rather than merit. This left a legacy of ‘Hindu’ growth rate leading to scarcity & corruption rather than abundance & uprightness.
Now let us count…5/9
his major blunders:
1. Giving away Tibet to China on a platter without extracting permanent settlement on Indo-China border.
2. Giving up UNSC permanent seat in favour of China!
3. Giving up POK and internationalizing Kashmir.
4. Put his friendship with Sheikh Abdullah…6/9
above the interests of India & Kashmir.
5. Weakened the armed forces by encouraging dissent and trying to prune down infantry.
6. Mistrusting Army leading to humiliating defeat at the hands of China and losing Aksai Chin.
7. In the garb of democracy imposing dynasty…7/9
rule on India by thrusting his daughter on the nation.
Nehru was a complex and confused person whose writings never matched his deeds. He was indecisive and insecure, which meant that he hardly trusted anyone, except a few, leading to catastrophic results for India!…8/9
In the end, I leave you all with a serious question:
When will our nation really do an objective analysis of the true legacy of not just Nehru but also Gandhi…shorn of emotions, based on hard facts & with neutral minds without ideological leanings??…9/9

Started in Egypt in 1928, it is said that British intelligence had a big hand in promoting it. It’s goal is to have a confederation of states governed by Sharia under a caliphate. Hence, it aims to dislodge established regimes & impose Sharia rule…1/12
It dethroned Egypt govt and ruled for an year before it itself got kicked out & was banned in Egypt. It tried to do the same in Saudi Arabia but were caught & banned in 2014. Hamas is its militant front & it has strong affiliations with Al-Qaeda. MB was one of the big…2/12

At the outset I agree with 2 critical aspects he raises: 1. Why haven’t history books changed till date. 2. Free temples (or, in my view, also control places of worship of other religions).
these 2 substantial points, I disagree with him on 2 key assumptions he makes in the article:
1. Modi needs to communicate better with his party (Nupur/Naveen) & voter base.
It has been clarified by the party today that there were enough warnings given to both but they…2/11
