Firstly thanks to the person who uploaded the video of the best ever prime minister of India, beyond doubts. 3 quick observations to share with viewers here: 1) Those were the days when Dinners organised in the honour of Indian PM was not attended by the top leaders of US, Including President of US. That explains a lot of diplomatic and global status of India back in 1960s. 2) Chacha Nehru, on his visit to USA, met with indians living abroad and told them about them latest developments in India. Be it calling himself a " Pratham Sevak", meetings with indians residing abroad, or Nehru Jackets, one wonders how much Nehruji has influenced Modi and his conduct as PM? It is all the more interesting because of Modi's stated stance on Nehru ji and his dislike for the person. 3) Nehru ji had been PM of India for good 14 years by the time this meeting happened. As the video states, in these nearly 14 years, He visited White house for the 3rd time. Considering that US was already a declared super power, it is amusing that he visited US only for 3 times. The coldness in body language of American president is quite apparent. While rest of the world was bowing down to the might of US, to remain non committal to both US and USSR must have been a very bold and difficult path to follow. All said and Done, Nehruji was the best PM we could have ever asked for post 1947. With war on the border, communal tensions in India at its peak, and Princely states still unwilling to join India, it takes a nerve of steel to still architect the modern india. We could have so easily gone the pakistan ways...but thanks to Chacha's farsightedness and intellect, we kept moving in right direction, fruits of which we still reap in 2018.
Nehru overall provided stability to secular, non aligned, democratic India and brought centrally controlled govt policy. On flip side his legacy to promote his family hurt India the most as it led to nepotism and eventually corruption.
Grv Nvm wow, wow,wow, I never came across anybody like you who wrote in debth, about Indian History and the achievements of Nehru, I am ire you, very much, please keep writing , so I can enjoy reading history, thank you.
Thanks for uploading.... Nehru ji was a perfect PM for our great indian democracy....look at his Talent, body language, generosity, the way he interacted with the citizens as well as foreigners...true gem of india..
At the age of 8 I have seen our first PM Pandit jawarhalal Nehruji. We're asked to sit in a open ground for more than 8/9 hours, after long wait he came in late evening and gave a speech. Great leader of our country, intellectual, world-class leader, visionary. Developed india educational, industrial, agriculture, technology, what not space, atomic etc. He laid strong foundation for for strong and powerful future india. Salute to him. Thanks for sharing his videos videos.
Before IIT we had comparatively good experimental setups at our universities. And some of the pioneering works of pure physics(theoretical physics) were done at universities like Calcutta,Dacca, Allahabad, cultivation.... etc
Bhai NehruJi was voracious leader. Although he committed many blunders, overall he did very good. Though people wished Sardar Ji was to be first PM, yet NehruJi was no way behind..
The perfect P.M. Indians ever witnessed. Just look at policies such as NAM and else...intelligent and diplomatic moves. He was one of the most intellectual and elite leaders in Indian history. I personally adore the man very much.
sohini sanyal I admire the fact that you admire him, you must be an intellectual, such glorious past, people, the current modi govt and young Indians forget that he acquired India and became Prime minister at a difficult time, transition from a super power from British India was a difficult task, Most Indians forget about Chinese war, war with Pakistan in the 70 s, people who witnessed history will admire him.to save India from super powers like Russia and the US must have been difficult in those days, certainly a diplomat.
@@susanthomas7659 That's very true. There have been great attempts to malign and vilify this great man. His flirting and love affair with Mountbatten's wife has nothing to do with who he was as a leader. There is no doubt that his vision and foundations have made us who we are. We cannot ignore Indira also who in my opinion still has been the most powerful yet controversial leaders of India, followed by Narsimha Rao who most definitely needs a Bharat Ratna. On that note even contributions of Shastriji or even Rajiv's IT and computers and telecom (sam pitroda) cannot be ignored. Here in India we focus only on the blemishes and wrong doings as very very few have the heart and mind to acknowledge the important contributions and decisions by leaders that have helped India stand up on it's feet as a modernity aiming progressive thinking state. EDIT: should the failures of Dr. MMS as a PM to prevent 2G 3G and coal scams be his only legacy? What about what he achieved under PM Narsimha Rao's protection to make the sweeping changes needed to see India as progressing economy.
I admire this man .. but that doesn't stop me from criticising him .. i feel he made many mistakes.. and if i don't criticise nehru i can't proclaim that am an admirer if him
History shows Nehru was a week leader more concerned with what people thought of him rather than making strong decisive decisions. We are still paying for his miscalculated decision.
HERBAL MEDICINE Yiu are deluded and do not belong to 2018 People in those times were retarded and were not proud hindus and could not think for themselves. Today we have all information at the tips of fingertips. By today's standards these are half baked politicians Chinese invasions occured because of 1962, Nehru created problems relating to islamization ,unequal standards , no uniform civil code , demonization of India's contributions and falsely glorifying islam and muslim contributions , when most contributions hsVe come from india itself. And yes , India was the richest and influential for two millennia , and yes caste atrocities was never an original part of Hinduism and worlds problems since time immemorial have been more devastating than the so called caste system
HERBAL MEDICINE Nehru brought stupid communist system and pushed India backward. He should have been pro capitalist and individualism and freedom and abolish regressive muslim laws
sohini sanyal He knew nothing about India. Je destroyed india by succumbing yo china People praising Nehru are terrorists and dimwits. India has always been great and education hub its nothing new that IIT are formed in Nehru's regime
Rahul M terrorism is a very subjective issue. So this is what you modiji fans and hindutwawadis do, don't ya?...label radical nationalists as terrorists!
I love Nehru's response. It is so fascinating to me to see the disparate perceptions between Nehru and the American from the press. The press guy can't understand how the Nehru foreign policy is not creating a bloc. What Nehru wanted was a new kind of world order in which independent sovereign states were respected and could act alone. That didn't always mean that India would be neutral. What it meant though was that it considered that it could have good relations with both America and the Soviet Union. American foreign policy thinking was just the opposite. Nehru developed this idea from his experience of two World Wars, in which he saw the negative impact of nations forming into big opposing groups. He tried to forge a new foreign policy that would avoid such disasters. He was a visionary and an idealist.
That's what Nehru said in his BBC interview. There is always a tendency of American and European leaders to look at the world from their own perspective. But every global problem is not a Western problem, and in many cases the West created those problems. All that Nehru wanted was to carve out a different world order with the former colonized countries in the forefront. As Nehru had an immense knowledge of history, he understood that all the Third World countries share a common history and heritage, and were once squeezed under imperialist hands. So, he wanted them to be self-reliant, and catch up with the West. He never told anyone to adopt any particular ideology; though he was a strong socialist, he believed in open-minded approach and creative thinking. He wanted the Afro-Asian states to shape themselves in their own way, but to be developed to the extent so as to catch up with the West. The non-alignment was not just a foreign policy, it's a more historical and emotional bonding between Africa and Asia, which Nehru wanted to reassert in the post-war period.
Nehru has perfect vision, very productive . secular . No doubt great leader. Currently people who criticize him because they are not able to compete with him.

Thankyou for Uploading these Rare Videos ..One of the Best Enlightened Energetic Charismatic Prime Ministers ...The Respect and Rapport He had With all the Great Leaders and Heads of the World ...The Non Alignment Movement He Founded ...etc was Wow ...Unlike the Present Disgraceful one we have
Dr V Poornima V -- the present one is not a disgraceful one -- he is where he is today ONLY because of his ability and perseverance. He did not become President of a political party because his father donated money and recommended him to that post. And he will never send an Indian soldier to fight the Chinese in winter dressed in SUMMER uniform. Non alignment was a parade of buffoons who thought more about themselves and had no idea where their countries stood then. Are you aware that the TEEN MURTI BHAVAN where Nehru resided and his daughter converted ( public property) into a museum was known as the Flag Staff House -- the official residence of the Army Commander When Gen Boucher resigned in 1948 it ought to have gone to Gen Carriappa --- BUT OUR 'GREAT ' MAN MOVED IN. And be informed that the person whom you praise more than necessary became the first PM of India through the back door. Neither Gandhi nor Nehru had any principles nor did they believe in democracy if the results were against their wishes. In April 1946 when the election to the post of the President of the CONgress were held -- then a stepping stone away to be the first PM of India, it was Sardar Patel who had secured 13 of the then 15 CWC votes. Nehru the "great: NIL Unfortunately Hindustan had MKG the manipulator to contend He asked the Sardar to stand down -- which the great patriot did -- and the rest as they say is history
Oh really then you must have wanted Rahul Gandhi to be the pm I think who is an excellent decision maker, spokes man who calls speaker mam sir , don't know how to write a letter this is what you want I think you're a congress boot licker who have hurt by demonetization.
I think you're a disgrace to our country looting innocent poor people in the name of tests I don't how come you became a doctor if you can't take decision in the present times why Tejas took more than 20+years to be in service go get some knowledge
We measure every leader by his impact his decision created in future ..let me tell nehru was not architect of Modern Indian democracy ..but like many great leader he was also fallibille..he made mistakes on china issue and failed to handle chinese issue but that doesn't take away fact the he did wonders for country in times where country approach towards education was cavaliers he advocated for building isro iit dams and IISC..his foreign diplomacy apart from Chinese issue was awesome ..
I would see our current PM take questions so openly. Hell probably shit his pants. but comparing nehru to that person would be an insult to the first PM.
One more thing. Non-alignment, that was much criticized by the West then, proved to be a boon to India today. India can today look up USA in the eye to say No in a wide variety of issues. It is under no obligation and pressue. This kind of foreign policy where you keep good relationship with one and all without having to belong to a "bloc" has served India well. India has good relationship today with Arab nations and Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iran, USA and Russia and has a diplomatic mission even in North Korea!
That's very very true. Unfortunately only few Indians like yourself can understand this. Due to non alignment, India was never pressurized by external forces.
Nehru was a great man in a lot of ways. I belong to the generation who did not see him, only heard about him. My father (now 80 plus) eulogizes him. Nehru was above all a true democrat. In a letter to editor, written under an assumed name, he warned of too much hero worship of Nehru lest he become a dictator! "We want no Caesars here" he warned. Long years of freedom fight against Brits (he spent more than 10 years in British jail) and close association with Gandhiji made him a humanist at core. He abhorred wars and thought he could live for ever in peace with China and rest of the world. Nehru neglected defense as he thought India would never go to war with any nation! He also neglected primary education, going for IITs and the like. India is still grappling with a high level of illiteracy in the country that is stifling its progress. Much of the developed world in Asia today (Japan, South Korea for eg) first tackled primary education before going in for high tech stuff. Nehru's model of centralized planning, done with good intentions, was a disaster in the long run. It gave rise to massive bureaucracy, low efficiency and stifled entrepreneurship and private enterprise. However, we can say all this with hindsight of 20/20. Nehru could never have foreseen these shortcomings. Blame should fall on Indira Gandhi not to dismantle Nehruvian socialism when it was giving India only a "Hindu growth rate" of 2 to 3 % while even Pakistan was growing much faster. His contribution would however include the institutions he built, his faith in Science and Technology and above all his true democratic credentials.
I have seen his era. In jail he used to write books. Discovery of India is one such book. Letters to his Daughter Indira were published and became a part of school curriculum. Such leaders will never be born again sadly.
Just one mistake. Nehru didn't neglect the defense, since the modernization of the army began under his premiership. The 1962 debacle was not due to Nehru's misjudgement, but due to the misunderstanding between the government and the army.
The great one.... He was herro.... And of course it happened to him also.... Either you die as hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villan😕😕
0:11 to 0:26 Here...Now...I recall having seen in my childhood an iconic photograph (kept in my primary school) of Nehru holding his hands back and.... strolling with John F.K. We used to call those days one is very taller and the other very shorter. Thanks for this uploaded video.
People have always pointed against nehru . But if it was not for his foreign policy at the time after independence india would have failed as an nation. Perhaps yes all indians stood united as well. He was the best pm that india could have at that time over sardar vallabhai patel ji as he flourished India's prowess at the international podium.

@@rohanmishra3117 chacha and netaji were good friends. It was netaji who gave the title of 'father of nation' to gandhiji. You should respect all if you have netaji in your heart.
@@hardrock342 being friends at some point of time and carrying out the friendship are two very different things. They might have been friends once when Netaji thought that he too had the aim of Poorna Swaraj but not after being deceived by him. Talking about giving title of Father of Nation, you must know the context. One word describes Netaji's action and that's diplomacy. Used to respect everyone whole heartedly once, but after knowing actually about Netaji and having him in the heart, respecting these fake people is not possible anymore!
What sharp and clear answers and thoughts about the country's policies he has to such straight and sharp questions. And compare it to who we have in the same place today- utterly corrupt, doubtfully literate, indecent to the point of vulgarity at times with no sense of foreign policy and totally self-absorbed 😢😢
Such dignity and such grace! Intelligence modesty and self confidence - his answers at the press conferrance are a lesson in to all of us on how to hold your own without agression.

If not for 1962, if had he not trusted the Chinese too much, he would be considered as best Indian Prime minister forever, I would be he still is in spite of it.
India was blessed to have such a leader who laid the foundation of modern India that we see today...it was Nehru's vision that IIT IIM AIIMS DRDO was established....it was Nehru who brought land reforms to the country...it was Nehru who build all steel plants, Heavy machine industries, to industrialize India... Bhakra nangal damn was build under his leadership which later became cornerstone of Green revolution...but unfortunately current generation are completely unaware of this & they are busy in defaming Nehru
The best part: he did take questions from the press!

@@RaviPatel-pw9hn Kashmir would have been part of Pakistan if Nehru wasn't there
@@sandeepk87
Explain how??
We measure every leader by his impact his decision created in future ..let me tell nehru was not architect of Modern Indian democracy ..but like many great leader he was also fallibille..he made mistakes on china issue and failed to handle chinese issue but that doesn't take away fact the he did wonders for country in times where country approach towards education was cavaliers he advocated for building isro iit dams and IISC..his foreign diplomacy apart from Chinese issue was awesome ..
NEHRU TRUE LEADER CAN SPEAKE TO WORLD ON BEHALF OF HINDUSTAN. YOU WILL LONG LIVE IN OUR HEARTS NEHRUJI
I would see our current PM take questions so openly. Hell probably shit his pants. but comparing nehru to that person would be an insult to the first PM.
One more thing.
Non-alignment, that was much criticized by the West then, proved to be a boon to India today. India can today look up USA in the eye to say No in a wide variety of issues. It is under no obligation and pressue. This kind of foreign policy where you keep good relationship with one and all without having to belong to a "bloc" has served India well. India has good relationship today with Arab nations and Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iran, USA and Russia and has a diplomatic mission even in North Korea!
That's very very true.
Unfortunately only few Indians like yourself can understand this.
Due to non alignment, India was never pressurized by external forces.
Nehru was a great man in a lot of ways. I belong to the generation who did not see him, only heard about him. My father (now 80 plus) eulogizes him.
Nehru was above all a true democrat. In a letter to editor, written under an assumed name, he warned of too much hero worship of Nehru lest he become a dictator! "We want no Caesars here" he warned.
Long years of freedom fight against Brits (he spent more than 10 years in British jail) and close association with Gandhiji made him a humanist at core. He abhorred wars and thought he could live for ever in peace with China and rest of the world.
Nehru neglected defense as he thought India would never go to war with any nation!
He also neglected primary education, going for IITs and the like. India is still grappling with a high level of illiteracy in the country that is stifling its progress. Much of the developed world in Asia today (Japan, South Korea for eg) first tackled primary education before going in for high tech stuff.
Nehru's model of centralized planning, done with good intentions, was a disaster in the long run. It gave rise to massive bureaucracy, low efficiency and stifled entrepreneurship and private enterprise.
However, we can say all this with hindsight of 20/20. Nehru could never have foreseen these shortcomings. Blame should fall on Indira Gandhi not to dismantle Nehruvian socialism when it was giving India only a "Hindu growth rate" of 2 to 3 % while even Pakistan was growing much faster.
His contribution would however include the institutions he built, his faith in Science and Technology and above all his true democratic credentials.
I have seen his era. In jail he used to write books. Discovery of India is one such book. Letters to his Daughter Indira were published and became a part of school curriculum. Such leaders will never be born again sadly.
A very correct analysis of Nehru's work. Probably you have explained Nehru the best. His visions and achievements as well also his failures.
Just one mistake. Nehru didn't neglect the defense, since the modernization of the army began under his premiership. The 1962 debacle was not due to Nehru's misjudgement, but due to the misunderstanding between the government and the army.
The great one.... He was herro....
And of course it happened to him also....
Either you die as hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villan😕😕

Smart retorts by Nehru to the questions from the 4th estate!
People have always pointed against nehru . But if it was not for his foreign policy at the time after independence india would have failed as an nation. Perhaps yes all indians stood united as well. He was the best pm that india could have at that time over sardar vallabhai patel ji as he flourished India's prowess at the international podium.
Over Sardar Patel? This is the limit😠

नेहरू ने 1950 में ही आईआईटी बना दी थी , 1952 में रोडवेज विभाग , ऐम्स हॉस्पिटल नेशनल इंस्टिट्यूट ऑफ डिजाइनिंग नेशनल इंस्टिट्यूट ऑफ टेक्नोलॉजी , भारत की सुरक्षा के लिए डीआरडीओ , विश्व में तीसरे नंबर की स्पेस एजेंसी इसरो , बाबा जहांगीर रिसर्च सेंटर , कोरोना जैसे वायरस के लिए नेशनल इंस्टिट्यूट ऑफ़ वायरोलॉजी , देश के विकास के लिए भाखड़ा नांगल और हीराकुंड जैसे सैकड़ों बांध , लाखों स्कूल कॉलेज यूनिवर्सिटी हॉस्पिटल
देश का औद्योगिक करण किया ओएनजीसी स्टील अथॉरिटी ऑफ इंडिया जैसे सैकड़ों कंपनियां बनाई
आकाशवाणी केंद्र बनाया
यह सब उस समय किया जब अंग्रेजों ने पूरा लुत्फ सोडके खत्म कर दिया देश को और देश में गिने-चुने डॉक्टर इंजीनियर थे , देश की 90% जनसंख्या अनपढ़ गवार थी और 80% लोगों को दो टाइम खाना नहीं मिलता था
और यह सब उस समय था जब भारत में कार्बन कॉपी की मशीन भी नहीं थी
17 विभाग वाला योजना आयोग बनाया जिससे देश चल रहा है
देश में लाखों समस्या आई थी करोड़ों समस्या थी ,सरदार पटेल देश को भले एक करके गए हो गृहमंत्री के तौर पर परंतु इस देश को 17 सालों तक एक रखना अब उसमें ग्रह युद्ध नहीं होने देना , और देश में विविधता में एकता की नींव रखना , और देश को विकास की ओर अग्रसर करना
यह का महान काम नेहरू और उसके सहयोगियों ने किया था यदि गांडू गोडसे और सावरकर के हाथ में देश होता ,तो आज हम अंग्रेजों के हाथ में ही होते हैं क्योंकि उनको लगता था कि इस देश को केवल अंग्रेजी सही ढंग से चला सकते हैं 😆🤣🤪
Almost 17 years , he was a PM. Being true secular, rarely attended any religious function, be it Hindu or Muslim. Rarely went to any temple or mosque.

Pure reflection of your 'chachaji'. No need of debate then!
@@rohanmishra3117 chacha and netaji were good friends. It was netaji who gave the title of 'father of nation' to gandhiji. You should respect all if you have netaji in your heart.
@@hardrock342 being friends at some point of time and carrying out the friendship are two very different things. They might have been friends once when Netaji thought that he too had the aim of Poorna Swaraj but not after being deceived by him. Talking about giving title of Father of Nation, you must know the context. One word describes Netaji's action and that's diplomacy.
Used to respect everyone whole heartedly once, but after knowing actually about Netaji and having him in the heart, respecting these fake people is not possible anymore!

India was blessed to have such a leader who laid the foundation of modern India that we see today...it was Nehru's vision that IIT IIM AIIMS DRDO was established....it was Nehru who brought land reforms to the country...it was Nehru who build all steel plants, Heavy machine industries, to industrialize India... Bhakra nangal damn was build under his leadership which later became cornerstone of Green revolution...but unfortunately current generation are completely unaware of this & they are busy in defaming Nehru
