It was a difficult environment for Nehru to face international press but still he dealt with dignity. Has anyone seen the current PM facing press?
no
Yes I did Once In My Dreams But Woke Up The Minute He Started Drinking Water Dosti Bani Rahehen
@@kedtiwari 😂😂😂
Dosti bani rahe
Doesn’t matter. India's PM doesn’t have to be questioned by international press. Dr. Jaishankar is there just for that
What a dignified leader! Panditji, we the Indians n miss a visionary and intellectual leader like you.
@@stewie4365 ha par Modi ki wife uski dignity nahi jan pai
You have Hindoo fascist now who’s teaching his followers to be victims!
Visionary leader who gave away Indian land to China, Pakistan and also refused permanent seat of India in the UN.
@@kgr3977all the allegations that your making on him are absolutely baseless and bare no truth. no if you believe what you say it's true, could you please tell me as to what are the places did Jawaharlal Nehru give away to Pakistan China? And can you please tell me in which meeting of United Nations Nehru refuced the permanent membership for India in United Nations security council?
@@chandrareddy4392
Why dont you just google it
Nehru was a well read person with dignity who could face tough interviewers without flinching. He was a true statesman and could rise above petty matters.
... rise above petty matters. That's a genuine statesman!.
A creature of least resistance and comfort.
All the IITs what we have today, a vision of Mr Panditji... A real visionary who constructed a Modern India.. We are as Indians very grateful to such great personalities..
Shhhhh..... 🤫🤫 praising Pandith Nehruji is a crime these days, be careful.
@@athensmajnoo3661 Truth is Truth always..
@@karun2360 i know my friend, but the present party in power at the centre never ever mentions any positive aspects of Pandithji, or highlights the progress made by his government in such difficult times, but focuses mainly on so called blunders, and even stoops so low as to talk about his ancestors religion.
Wait till it backfires one fine day, and these heroes will be searching for a place to hide their faces.
Lol. India was ahead of China and look where it is now. IIT is nothing. Anyone would have done that
Difficult times ? All major powers courted india at the time. Nehrivian propaganda is strong in Indians because that's what india was fed for many decades
Meanwhile leaders now a days - "दोस्ती बनी रहे"
WHAT A GREAT MAN! INDIA HAS FALLEN FROM WHERE TO WHERE ?
Going to other countries to ask for loans, to now giving line of credits to other countries! OMG the horrors.
@@arthuranydonuts923 India had just got independence don't forget it was INC who proposed reforms there was janta party before too who just performed its social welfare schemes to garner electoral gains
@@arthuranydonuts923 Not about the financial condition but the social structure is weakening terribly.

Architect of modern India. A visionary leader.
What exactly did he do for the country that you can call him an architect of modern India? Speaking good English, selling of Indian land to neighboring countries and being a womanizer ain't a visionary leader son. He's no Lee Kwan Yu
Vision of bankruptcy
@@Nightwing22kThe very democracy that enables the present ruling dispensation as well as the likes of you to slander and question the country’s first leaders is Nehru’s contribution. He started India on the path of economic, social and political freedom and expanded the reach and quality of education. One would expect you to have read something at least before going at semi divine beings like Nehru and Gandhi
@@advaith160what do u expect from whatsapp peeps??
@@advaith160that's what he asked , what did they do to be called as "semi *divine* beings"
People of India need to know the contributions of our former PM's so that they can compare our present PM and his contribution, that will give us insight of critical assessment of our PM's !
If the people of India acknowledge what our former PM's upto Manmohan Singh did for India they will realise what our present PM is giving to India.
People forget time and space. I was born in India, just after Independence, and there was nothing left in the country. Thank God for the Nehru's, who had decided to donate both their palatial homes in Allahabad to the nation. It was an era of survival. I remember my mother saving our 1 kg ration of sugar, for visitors, so they could have a cup of tea! Jawaharlal was the right choice as India's first PM. God help us if we had what we have now!
Pandit Ji drove India through extremely poor financial health to prosperity and kept India united during her toughest times !
Good joke.😂😂😂😂
Well, not prosperity, but stability can be a right word.
By giving a large part of india to our enemy you're right brother✅he has done a great job.I don't remark on his career as a nationalist but as a PM of India he has done so many mistakes that we are still paying for those mistakes,..
viz, article 370,berubari case, and 1962 sino-indian war and many more😊but still he was a great PM.
ISRO , DRDO, EPFO, ED, AIIMS, Metric System, Paradip Port, Chandigarh, Bhubaneswar, NITs,(formerly RECs), and so on. Including the set of laws, such as labour laws, electoral laws, etc. Bhakra-Nangal dam, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, the LIC, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Indian Oil Corporation, the National Library of India, National Institute of Design , Kendriya Vidyalayas, Khadi and Village Industries Commission, Steel PSUs in Rourkela, Bhilai, etc..... The list goes on....
An organisation is nothing. All countries have had it. What matters is scale and velocity. India lost out to other nations. And labour laws in Inda were a disaster and anti poor. It is only now things are changing
Father of preamble Indian constitution is Nehru❤
Yes, but not just that after Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Ambedkar ji had a disagreement in the UK, Dr. Ambedkar ji didn't like Gandhi and the INC. But, Nehru ji forced him to join the drafting committee of the Indian Constitution. Plus, he made Ambedkar ji law minister in his cabinet. He also gave a cabinet position to Shyama Prasad Mukherjeewho was in the Hindu Mahasabha and the RSS.
2:02
The Parliament set up a Planning Commission which proposed and planned all the projects mentioned above.Ofcourse Nehru backed them.The Fiveyear plans was mirroring the Russian model and was good for the country.India needed an industrial Revolution it was denied by the British.Nehru performed his duty & responsibility here.But he blundered re:Kashmir,UN SC seat,1962 China invasion, for ex.The Non Alignment was Good & Bad.I understand that the Britishers had a draft plan to industrialize India which Nehru followed.He deserves our thanks.
Now India is leapfrogging the world in the IT & AI Era.India earned Kudos for the COVID Vaccine,Space missions Modwith full Modi
support.And I dia is the World Leader,much respected thanks to Modi ji, the right PM at the right time.
Jai Bharat.
No one can match this great leader
I wish we had known how mr.nehru ate mango
Nehru was a visionary and great leader, really father of modern India.
Not father, but the architect of New India...
India today needs a man like him to raise it from where it has fallen under the present Govt.
Nehru was visionary leader who gave constitution, states based on language, end of zamindars, land reforms, autonomous judicial system, strong bureaucracy, IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, DRDO, ISRO, Dams, iron steel plants, HEC, Hmt led the country as liberal democracy as western countries adopted . Today India is due to Nehru but now police reforms, administrative reforms, autonomous free press, autonomous election commission etc is need to make India a nation state.
WTH, there are limits to blindly praising someone.
End of Zamindars, land reforms, linguistic states was not a result of Nehru. Heck he was very reluctant against those reforms. All of those reforms came as a result of grassroot movements. He ruined the IAS (ICS) with his diktats and rampant nationalization after 1955.
He was the founder of IIT, AIIMS and IIM. However, Nehru was already dead when ISRO was founded (1969, Nehru died in 1962). He cracked down on Freedom of Speech, he whipped his party to pass Article 19(a). Incidentally, the BJP's spiritual founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Ambedkar were staunchy against it. Election Commission was not his brainchild, it was a combined genuises of the Constituent Assembly. All the Liberal values you claim to cherish, was a result of Ambedkar - Nehru was against the passage of Hindu Code Bill (which itself was a compromise from UCC).
@@libshastra ISRO had a predecessor which was founded during his time, Nehru couldn't get Hindu code Bill in full measure because many Hindu members from his own party were against it. Also there were many other institutions that were created, which I can't even list here. EPFO, ED, AIIMS, Metric System, Paradip Port, Chandigarh, Bhubaneswar, NITs,(formerly RECs), and so on. Including the set of laws, such as labour laws, electoral laws, etc. Bhakra-Nangal
dam, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, the LIC, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Indian Oil Corporation, the National Library of India, National Institute of Design , Kendriya Vidyalayas, Khadi and Village Industries Commission, Steel PSUs in Rourkela, Bhilai, etc..... There are many others which I don't even remember.
@@grapeshott as he said earlier there's a limit of blindness labour laws was introduced by br Ambedkar and lic was founded by surendranath tagore and I don't wanna mention all but do your homework before talking nonsense
@@libshastra how did he compromise IAS?
Also please mention how his industrial license Raj ruined India. You needed central government permission to manufacture.
S Jaishankar is a brilliant foreign minister who knows diplomacy as the back of his palm. But still he can learn from Nehru to be not arrogant to press people making questions, giving out answers pleasant to the ears and still sending out the message what he meant.
Jaishankar is a KGB agent.
Theres a reason why Nehru ji was our first Prime Minister and Jaishankar is a foreign minister under the Ministry and acts on the directions of prime minister.
Agree 💯
Don't know why he gets criticized 😕 ,he seems to be a good leader.
@@stewie4365 POV: A comment from someone living under a rock.
only due to china
He is criticised because he gave up the UNSC veto .he destroyed the manufacturing Industry.did nothin to control the population
Article 370,loss for Sino-Indian war, berubari case,it's enough for criticizing him.
@@benjay19 still better than dosti bane rahe pm
Huge respect for Pandit Nehru for doing all that was required to launch India into a modern state starting with nothing soon after independence.A man endowed with great scholarly attributes,statesmanship,vision and International stature expected of a leader steered India through difficult times in its formative stages.His vilification in present times in certain quarters is nothing but a sad commentary on all pervasive rot in politics and the extent to which politicos can stoop.
What a man!! Hind ka lal jawaharlal
If you made a passive comment on nehru ji,
Don’t worry whatsapp group phd employee will reply you 🤣🤣
Such an intellectual person natural was he unlike today's actor pm who just do acting and jumlas but Nehru build India from scratch.
Today our PM is much better leader than anyone else. Just remember today India become world leader in just 5-8 years.
So English = intellectual for u?
@@veeranagoudapatil6992 Sir, have you ever tried stand-up comedy? Optimism is good but not fantasies based on bigotry and fascism.
@@stewie4365 Perhaps more attention to what is being expressed in said medium than finding faults over petty matters .
@@veeranagoudapatil6992 where did you get this news from?
I mean if you are claiming that India became world leader...then some international agency should endorse it...pls share the source of your claim
That's how a Head of the country or a PM sounds like. So calm , so composed. No unnecessary drama. So well educated. Because of this man today we're living in democratic country nd we've IIT, NIT aims, DRDO, isro, bhaba institute,etc.
Well said SIr,I am at 68
He was India's Kohinoor. A visionary, a nation builder, a scholar, a thinker, a constitutionalist and a world leader. He was the best Prime minister of not only in India but anywhere in the world.
Don't mention him and the Kohinoor in the same breath.
Salute to our First Prime minister. Proud to be 🇮🇳Indian.
Imagine he took ambedkar who is in opposition party as country's law minister in his cabinet, simply he wanted the best minds, nd for larger good of country, he didn't bother about their differences..truly beautiful minds.
Problems during those days were far more than today. They had to envision every bit of the future of such a huge country with such a big diversity. And made the right choices, which today's politicians try to get the entire credit for.
One of the greatest Educated Prime Ministers of India. Doesn't need teleprompters. Well thought out talk and impeccable English. This was 75 years ago. Education should be mandatory for uneducated politicians. 😢
What a delight to watch him..
True National leader. We are fortunate that He was the Prime Minister when India became Independent and laid a strong foundation for India to grow as a country.
Really like the video quality of this.
what a great leader we had…..salute to pandit NEHRU❤️
This is how an educated person speaks.
No blame game, no dirty language, just crisp upto the point replies
Why no blame? He should have strongly said that yes we need accommodation because of the situation Britishers left us in. We have no shame in asking for accommodation, in fact Britishers should provide us the reparation. It was Nehru govt who didn't ask for reparations and instead asked for accommodation which India was supposed to pay back.
Germany which started two wars, was paid reparation.
It's not a good way of talking, it was a sheer act of saving his power and supporting the British agenda
@@TheMith1990 It's easy to do retrospect analysis. Why has the present govt not demanded permanent seat in UNSC even after being in power for 10 yrs. At a time when they claim that whole world is supposedly looking up to us.
Such dignity and poise!
Nehru believed in unity in diversity and not the current situation of divide and rule....I can see what Edwina saw in him... intelligent, brave, independent spirit and very thoughtful. That's why they hate him . He threatens them even today .
The answer for press Conference about Financial matters, he replied this conference is not for that matter, that will be thru finance ministery,shows how matured repl3he gave.
The current PM would just drank a glass of water and ran away in this situation

The one and only.what a visionary.what a gem.very inspiring.
GREAT MODERN ARCKITECT OF INDIA FOREVER ,HIS VISIONS AND DREAMS WE LIVING AS MODERN ,His smile , looks body language and generosity EVER seen from anybody
Great leader 🙏💐🌸
Now we have a pm who says RADAR doesn't detect fighter jet in CLOUDS... 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Nehru jessaa Netaaa India ko nae mil saktaa phir kbhi...he was Ittehaasic...really ..a history in himself. Great respect for him from Lahore.
What was the major difference between our country and Pakistan who got independence at the same time ? The only difference was we had genuine leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, Vallabbhai Patel etc while Pakistan no leader of our leader's stature.
Thank you. I see first time Nehruji. I become very happy. 1000 times thank you.
We're proud of Nehru ji for his level of knowledge and erudition, which shows how dedicated and committed he used to be towards the country and its people
What a decent leader. BJP leaders have no standing whatever they may do
BJP IS DOING ONLY SELLING OF THE NATION TO THEIR PRIVATE PARTIES.
There are many bright bjp leaders as well, don’t just belittle ppl sitting in your living room.
For starters, go check out Sudhanshu Trivedi.
@@stewie4365 I will belittle BJP except for the good times of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. In general BJP a big failure
@@stewie4365 Sudhanshu Trivedi well many of feel he distorts facts.. Come out of this brain washing. BJP has failed
Highly commendable what Nehru did for India. Great leader
Any chance we can watch the full interview?
Such a graceful and amazing leader.
No Neta can compete his Highness, Panditji Shri Jawaharlal Nehru.
Like Him or hate him, iam proud to say that Iam Indian because of our First prime minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Thank you Pandit ji for making India a Democratic, Republic Country.
Pandit ji was a man of dignity as a soul of this country i miss personalities like this who shaped the modern india
Pandit nehru, possibly the greatest PM our country has ever had...not only did he fight for the freedom of our nation during the British Raj, but helped India develop in its most crucial time. The BJP has often tried to defame him...but to defame a man like him, one must reach his level.
Sir's accent wow 😲😞😞😞😞 chacha ji miss you forever
Pandit Nehru was a mixture of both international and national qualities. That's the reason why he never looked at India seperately but rather as a part of the wide outer world.
कहाँ यह नेहरू जी, और कहाँ आजका चिंदीचोर ...
His economic policies were bad for India, but he was still a visionary leader who laid the foundations of modern India, we haven't had a leader of his caliber since then. At least he could give dignified interviews.
Everyone says nehru has western influence in hjs tradition , all i want ask them what do u think about his gandhi cap??
Exactly, and why do they be all "western influences bad" ?, our culture should adopt and evolve as per time by following the successive models presented by others
But by no means am I completely ironing over the faults of the West
Can Modi give such an articulated explanation or Ans to such questions which have been asked here in the video?
No but he can constantly criticize and praise himself?
Our PM can't face press conference. It needs calibre. That too in English language impossible.
😂😂😂😂
Great Visionary. Great Soul.
Long live nehru ji
Your leadership still inspires us do good for this country
You still rule our hearts ❤
No wonder BJP leaders hate him to this day. They neither have the intelligence or the charm of Nehru. If he was alive, he would steamroll the BJP.

Had our present leaders had 5 percent of what he was
Respect 🌹
How did we go from that to this?
First PM And A Great Founder Of India.He Also Wants To Peace In The World.🌹🙏🌹🇮🇳🌹
Lol
It is interesting to know, that if there was not this Commonwealth membership, India wouldn't have been playing cricket on the world stage. Though the main objective was to gain economic benefits, the Commonwealth membership lifted the Indian Cricket from isolation to one of the biggest cricketing forces.

GOOD MORNING MOST MOST HONOURABLE AND MOST MOST MOST RESPECTED THE FIRST PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA SHRI PANDITJI SIR
Dosti bani rahe
ARCHITECT OF MODERN INDIA
And out current pm can’t even face the indian press!
Great man❤❤
Then Our Nehru solved lot of problems in Economic, Defence and others.
How do you plan to take a loan to eat mangoes? Please tell us? (PM who is still alive in 2022!)
Great man
We are fortunate to have had Nehru as the first PM. He laid the foundations for our democracy. Just look at our neighbour and the African continent.
Nehru - "We are targeting Mangal sutras and muttons, especially during Navratri and we will get this discussed in common wealth. I will also urge Future PM of INdia to stress on Machli, Mutton and Mangal sutra so that topic of importance is not brought up, because Indian people even after 70 years from now will like Mangal sutra and mutton machli topics.
Nehru ji aur Modi ke bich Jamin aasmaan ka अंतर है। चौथी पास इंटरनेशनल मीडिया के सामने बोल ही नहीं पाएगा । इसकों बोलने के लिये Teleprompter चाहिए ।
Brave man
Leaders like Nehru were of a different genre..can never be compared with the present lot who not only lack ideology whichever it may be but so so power hungry that they can stoop to any level
Am Watching for the first time on the year 2024 and Month MAY😊
Mr Nehru and our De Valera had warm and productive relations, even though Ireland left the Commonwealth in 1949.
The quality between Nehru (1964) vs Modi (2024) 🤡
Indi -chini b***policy 😁
Nehruji was a champion 🏆🥇
The father of Indian nation is prime minister Jawaharlal Neheru.
1947-2014 India had the educated prime ministers. 😍
😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
Jawalalalalalalalalalalalala Neroooooo!
His talk is moderate , articulate & soft spoken.May be it is the reason Gandhiji made him PM.!!!
Main reason Gandhiji decided Nehru for PM was because he was young
Nehru build india
Interview than to interview now😂
Now think how would S.Jaishankar would react if he was in the place of nehru...and end up being asked the very same questions..
Former pm ko dekho answers ko kitni sochkar de raha hai aur ek hamara modi jiske liye question aur answers pehle se prepare karwa diye jaate hai aur vo sab dekhkar bolta hai .
11/7/23 1:00am
2014 k baad se nehru ji ki image kharab karne ki lagatar koshis hui hai. 1947 me aur 2014 k bharat me bahut fark hai.Ek anpadh Pm ko media k through fake reporting karke kitna mahan project kia ja rha h.See these videos and read discovery of india ,and then compare him with modi.
Nehru's intelligence is class apart,let nikkerdharis RSS to wear or tear thier nikker, even their single leaders are near the world's stature of Nehruji.
next p m neharu grand son rahul gandhi this janration ruler of our cuntry ❤💯👍🇪🇬
That chaste english accent 🔥🔥
Nehruji established election commission and gave us right to vote ❤
