Nehru was right in taking Kashmir to the UN. It paid us later

- At 95, M.K. Rasgotra is probably India’s oldest and among its most experienced diplomats. In this interview with The Print’s Nayanima Basu, Rasgotra says ex- Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru took the right decision to take the Kashmir dispute to the UN. His book, ‘A Life In Diplomacy,’ vividly describes how India’s foreign policy came into being after independence in 1947 under Nehru, who was his own foreign minister and how that era compares with Modi’s foreign policy today.

Why is the lady in such hurry. Atleast let the old gentleman speak. He starts saying something interesting and the lady cuts him off.
Bcoz he didn't speak what they want
let the man speak, he was explaining the china issue so briefly and then the lady interrupts 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
She's isn't a reporter, she's a loudspeaker. Even the editors of this video didn't find it intelligible to normalise her audio - she remains loud while the gentleman's voice is 3 levels below hers.
She's been doing this in all her "interviews" - interruption, steering the conversation in a direction where the interviewee's answers are more in line with her understanding instead of the other way round.
Yes...he is brilliant. This lady is a dumb anchor. I would like to hear more of his wisdom. He is great. Truly a legend and history ought to be written along his thoughts. Beautifully articulated. But stupid anchors like this lady spoils it all. I believe it seem to be a standard norm with all damn India media anchors. Hopefully, there could be another proper interview. The world ought to know the truth behind multiple India's policy decisions.
She is a Bengali 'armchair' communist!! That explains
She just asks questions no clue what he says 😡
First Jyoti Malhotra n now her ! Damn
"People who criticise Nehru do not know what the circumstances were in 1947 " This I have been repeating for last eitgt years to all ..
People got educated after the creation of WhatsApp 😁😁
When u try to make shirt out of socks, you contemplate something like this.. Try to come out of this nonsense .. pay us later ? How ?
- Not having connectivity to central Asia ? That helped us ? Kazakh energy pipeline lost.. helped us ?
- China Pakistan alliance is solely sealed on this not having that land.. which has become a nightmare for us
- Rivers, minerals, tourism opportunities lost.. helped us ?
Only 5th rate communist can think something like this..
@@simplysimple2622uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
He even rejected UN offer for a permanent seat in 1955
A very bhakt ideology no political leader should be exempted from criticism
Where the hell did he say that in conclusion? This is why u need to have well learned anchors to take interview..
He wanted to speak more on china but she didn let him .. you can see that when he says the china premier wasn happy and told so to nehru , she immediately puts a follow up question as a closure.. seriously man .. get some good anchors to interview well read people
You can use these anchors for politican Intrviw
You sounds like, you don't know "The print" news
Seriously! The lady interrupted the diplomat at the wrong time - I really wanted to know what Nehru told Zhou Enlai on Dalai Lama's asylum question! This could probably explain the '62 Chinese position --> This is what happens when the interviewer is not really listening and wants to go through the prepared list of questions. Quite poor interviewing skills...
It is unfortunate that Print "censored" an important part of the talk on China.
It is an anti India media
@@surendr3645 what is your definition of India.. you have certain group and their leader in mind for sure
Madam, you were interviewing a gentleman whose thoughts can be accommodated in a book no less. Such a person should be interviewed at length and then the same may be edited for time. It seemed a little rude how you cut him off. Just an observation, otherwise you do reasonably well especially if Modi bashing is on the cards.
He has seen our foreign policy shape itself. Someone who witnessed post independence history first hand and having the experience of interacting with its stalwart leaders. I'm reading his memoir it's amazing how re recalls everything with so much accuracy at the age of 90+.
At 95, his clarity of mind and articulation of words are astounding!
Also a true diplomat - speaking very objectively with no politics behind.
Dear interviewer, thanks for your efforts. From next time please do understand that common people like us don't get to hear such people usually, please let the man speak.
16:39 Bad move by *Print* editing out a big portion😪😌
Exactly
I m so called rightwinger but i can say the print journalism is better than every other hindi and english digital media.
What do you mean a right winger?
@@pavitraranjanswain4010 He plays on the right side of the forward line, in front of the right back and on the right of striker
@@pavitraranjanswain4010 I want less state interference in the economy. Thats what makes me a right winger.
@@lookintoit4537 : Is it the definition of right winger? Great ! Colonizers were also looking for the same thing. They used to keep puppet kings all over the places of India and used to do economic activities through people. They were also ascertained that King had least interference in their activities. So why right winger drove out colonizers?
@@lookintoit4537 Market liberal 👍
We want more interviews of him.
Not trying to discredit him, but look at these statements from his wiki PAGE.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharaja_Krishna_Rasgotra
He was the foreign secretary during the Bhopal gas disaster. It is claimed by the then Deputy Chief of Mission of the US Embassy in New Delhi in 1984, in an interview with a news channel, that communications between the Government of India and himself relating to the release of Warren Anderson CEO of Union Carbide to return to the US went through the Foreign Secretary. In a subsequent interview with Karan Thapar, Mr Rasgotra held that releasing Warren Anderson was the right thing to do since he had been earlier promised safe passage

Omg ! 20 mins that's all you gave this? This deserves a series in itself. The guy is a collection of internal memos from foriegn ministry. Please expand this.
you should definitely read his book.
@@kunalgoswami4520 would love to someday.
@@kunalgoswami4520name of his book?
Please interview him more often regarding the foreign relation of our initial days comprehensively in different episodes to get an insider's view.
His views on China and Tibet should not have been interrupted.
what insider view? he was 23 years old when India got independence and he is telling why Lehru did at that time. Just like Lehru, he was a third rate foreign secretary who gave free passage to anderson after Bhopal tragedy.
@@omen786171 Give me one example of the person at the age 23 (in a democratic country that too 75 years ago when communication and availability of information was very sketchy) has made a critical impact on strategic level and not tactical for which the future generation was impacted.
Also, were those Saudis living in USA during 9/11 were any shape or form linked with those hijackers or were responsible for their acts? Anderson was the CEO of that firm and hence he was accountable for that mishap. Your statement says, that if somebody pays you money, you should forget about the problems that were created for the countrymen. then all foreign policies are great. Tough decisions have to be taken in tough situations.
@@omen786171 yep, you are a dunce person and can just throw muck and expect that it will stick. you don't have any examples to site as far 23 years old is concerned. your argument is out the window. your accusations didn't work regarding if the Saudis in USA were responsible for the 9/11 attack and govt let them go.
Why are you so interested in listening to his immature views. Or even his lies.
" THE KASHMIR ISSUE HAS GIVEN US A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE. THE ATTITUDE OF THE GREAT POWERS BEEN ASTONISHING. SOME OF THEM HAVE SHOWN ACTIVE PARTISANSHIP FOR PAKISTAN. WE HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL"
- Jawaharlal Nehru.
@nope0307 not mutually exclusive and he couldn't shout anyway, he was a mouse, all he could do was squeak.
@@BallyBoy95 kar liya hate ab nikal lawde
No one gives Sqare deal to you , you take a sqare deal from them with power. You can have meek mentality or strong mentality.
We now understand what kind will cha-cha nehru had. We needed strong leader like Sardar Patel.
If he can't handle it, why didn't he let sardar Patel do the job? He runs to UN in the middle of war? We are already at war, what more do we lose?
He was legendary Foreign Secretary of India.His clarity and explanation of India's Foreign Policy and History is remarkable.Wishes him long Healthy & Happy life.
why did he let anderson a free passage after UCI killed 3000 people. biggest man made industrial disaster of all time.
I am amazed at the clarity of thought of this gentleman. At 95, he is able to switch between multiple topics in the diplomacy timeline with ease.
He sounds like well read man , men In Those days would read the real stuff unlike today where google search or Wikipedia WhatsApp forwards twitter posts are considered most authentic and books are branded as factually incorrect and their writers mocked for having view contray to yours ..!!
Nehru should have retaken POK from Porkistan instead of declaring a truce. If he had done that there would be no need to take the Kashmir issue to the UN which anyway is a venue for gasbags. This diplomat is trying to whitewash the cowardly actions of the very first PM of India who built modern India on weak foundations.
The situation was not so good at that time..
Economy was small.
@@somdeepkundu2506 It was not about the economy but because Nehru was a socialist. Socialism is cancer.
@@warnpassion so were Bose and Bhagat Singh.
And how is socialism a cancer?
You said He should have take POK.
He was doing it.
Truce was declared on 1 january 1949.
War started in october 1947.
So it was almost 1.25 years of war.
Armies from both sides were in stalemate, no one were progressing on their fronts.
How could had he got on with war?
Kashmir should have been given,what good has that land ever did to us, kashmiri pandits had to leave anyway, better at that time.Both of us would have been better.Plus it is a muslim majority region why would do they want to come to a hindu majority country anyway. If just only partition would have been better and complete.
What a wonderful man. It was delight listening to him. Please spread more wisdom.
At 95 he is more articulate than entire current cabinet put together .. wonderful man.. more interview of him please. by decades . he is an encyclopaedia of all that happened.
did you get your rice?
Eat your free rice and shove your articulation up your ass. These cunts are the reason this nation is on its fucked up pussyfooting shape
This interview thows lot of light on many of the controversies raised by today's politicians without knowing the circumstances of those days. Nehru took bold decision single handedly. He had no proper departments manned by experts to assist him as we have today. We have to appreciate Nehru's actions of that time. Most of them were correct and are helping the country today.
One may agree or disagree but he has a valid point of view
Exactly... We were not present that time... Whatever happened we dont know...
Indeed rahul gandhi dont deserve celebration but jawaharlal indira might be something...
Who celebrate LK Advani?
After signing of IOA by J&K Maharaja on 26th Oct, 1947, Field Marshal Auchinleck "flew to Lahore on October 28 to inform Governor-General Jinnah that if he insisted upon sending Pakistan’s Regular Army into Kashmir, which had “legally acceded” to India, it would “automatically and immediately” require the withdrawal of every British officer serving with the Pakistan Army."(A NEW HISTORY OF INDIA , FIFTH EDITION, Stanley Wolpert, Oxford University Press, 1997.p.354). Nehru's Non-Aligned policy is OK, but Nehru was more interested in developing his international glory at the cost of national interest.
Nehru was aware that (1) J&K's IOA is a legal document signed by Mountbatten, (2) Frontier Province has been stealthily given to Pakistan by British after sham referendum to help Western Alliance retain Peshawar base for anti-Soviet surveillance (4) Gilgit uprising was staged by Maj.Brown 4 days after accession of J&K to hand over this front line garrison of Peshawar base to Pakistan, (5) Two territories were taken on lease by Britain, Chief Commissioner's Province of Baluchistan(CCPB) & Gilgit : While CCPB was not returned back to Baluchistan, Gilgit was cleverly returned to J&K Maharaja in July, 1947 to prize away Gilgit for Western Alliance, if required (6) Even though Chittagong region had only 13% Muslim population, over 22,000 sq. km area was deliberately given to Pakistan to deny India sea-access link to North-East India to favor Pakistan. With such tell tale signs, if Nehru went to the UNSC without consulting Deputy PM & Home Minister Sardar Patel, then one can only conclude that either he was arrogant political fool or to be more charitable a person in greedy pursuit of of his own international fame rather than national interest.
Happy to see that the comments in summary
* are impressed with the lucidity with which Mr.Rasgotra describes what happened and his views on what needs to be done.
* Are unimpressed with the way the interview was conducted/edited.
Sane words by one who has seen independent India take shape from birth! Listen to him.
Man... he was ri8 about Nepal...
He feels like the aemon targerian on the knight's watch. Through summer to winter to summer again. Seen it all lad seen it all
A rookie trying to interview a veteran diplomat. Totally ruined it. Please send a seasoned professional next time. We rarely get to hear diplomats who actually were there in those early post independence days
This is the most interesting video on our foreign affairs that I've come across in a long time. The man is a pragmatist and his opinions politically unmotivated. There should be more interviews of him
@john doe Figures! Although I would be interested in that book (downloaded not bought obviously)😏
@john doe I like the convenience of a cellphone. I've written 11 scripts and ghostwritten two novels in a cellphone if you can believe that! But yes, even for me a good fountain pen on Rhodia or Clairefontaine is special. I shifted from books during my high school years when I had to satisfy my hunger for reading by downloading from torrents. I still do that sometimes 😅
This man cannot decide our country politics
All good journalists are on RUclips,
That's why TV journalism died
Awesome interview 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent episode!! I understand the time pressure on the interviewer. But cutting off the gentleman in the middle of topics gave a feel that she was focused more in ensuring that she asked all her pre-prepared questions than listening to what the gentleman had to say. An excellent episode, nevertheless.
Thats how a man speaks who has vast experience and knowledge 🙏🙏
True , that’s how men who surround themselves with good books and great company think and speaks .I truly feel jealous of our previous generations they didn’t had to live in such an vitiated and communal atmosphere , they had ample opportunity to engage in debate and discussion with their adversaries and opponent yet not be scared of being called anti nation go to Pakistan liberandu and what not ..!!
The Lady is constantly Interrupting Mr Rasgotra constantly-- Conveniently forgetting that besides having been A Super Diplomat of India ( He was a very Successful Foreign Secretary) he was A Great Poet of Hindi as well! Ambassador (Rtd) Harsh Manral.
Very insightful, totally enjoyed listening to Mr. MK Rasgotra.
The Print.... innovative propoganda indirectly to glorify Nehru dynasty
Bala Srinivas Polineni he is indeed a glorious and great person
bewakoof....facts are facts
Unbelievable..... This host interrupt the real knowledge / information which public needs to know ( felt like slapping her or her producers of this show) .......
Is she from whatsapp university ❓
and he is right about Nepal. only few media outlets talk about it. Nepal politics is playing a dangerous game.
Exactly, they're one of oldest and closest allies and the only other Hindu majority nation in the world. And yet, Modi managed to screw up relations with Nepal, giving China the upper hand.
Enjoyed the Interview thoroughly except the loud shrill voice of the lady, almost an earsore.
History is revealing itself through his leaps. ❤
He was a 23 years old boy .
And do u think he will take the blame on him now😂when the legacy raj he served are far away from power now !
Well if we were to go as PRINT'S ideology then nehru was right at the time of 1962 war CHATUKARITA ki bhi seema hoti hai
Thank you print for interviewing him...
Insightful discussion
He is an authority in Foreign Policy
Nehru took Kashmir to UN in his personal capacity without the approval of the parliament.
The biggest blunder he did was to name it as disputed matter instead of terming it as invaded or occupied.
On one hand our army was pushing Pakistani kabailis back and this bastard was blocking at UN
A conversation with a positive and realistic personality who gave answers to all questions/queries positively and honestly
I am reading his books write now. A Life in Diplomacy. He is a true role model for me.
Please publish the uncut version!
Why Gupta Sir,ur assistant showed UTTER DISRESPECT by ending the Interview abruptly.
She put good Q. espl about now and then, and at this RIPE AGE of 95 SRI MK RasagotraSir gave astounding non political answers.
This shows ur self in very badly 😔
I was a bit let down by the host. She asked good questions but just when the gentleman was getting into the thick of things, she cut him off and changed subjects. I wanted to hear more from him. Amazing that he has seen so much of Indian foreign policy in his life time.
His mental faculties at this age is great and God gifted .May God keep his grace and kindness on him .
Please post the full interview
A great legend in Indian Foreign services
Nehru was the worst pm of India.
To accommodate all the questions in list journalists have a tendency to stop the speakers. It should have been of longer duration.
Thats the reason jinnah said this after he is being an ambassidor of hindu muslim
kashmir is a internal issue then and now why did NEHRU take it to UN ?other hand he rejected India's permanent membership in Security council and Gave it to China.
Rajesh Bobba maybe learn the history? China was already a member of security council by 1947. How will Nehru give the seat to China? 😂😂😂

Respectfully differ with the senior gentleman.
many thanks Manisha Mandal ji for valuable
Interview for our leader's
National policy.
Except for perhaps Kashmir, Nehru’s foreign policy was very beneficial for India.
If it were not for the non aligned movement we would have had to sacrifice all our resources to either USA or USSR. Instead we could cooperate with both of them.
Also under Nehru India was at forefront of the pro democratic movement worldwide and ended the Korean War.
Besides if it were not for Nehru Kashmir would be with Pakistan. No matter what narrative BJP created everyone including Sardar Patel did not care if Kashmir went to Pakistan, they were more worried about Hyderabad.
you are parroting Romalian history. Are you willing to open your mind.

you should read about what ambedkar though about nehru decisions and he even give the solutions of the problems that nehru was going to create in the future before he died.
@@jatin9070 ok but people elected Nehru
So he got to decide.. Simple
I could listen to this man all day...
This lady is in a hurry to wind up the talk... He is very patient otherwise he would have quit...
Would have enjoyed a more detailed interview...all the questions were kind of rushed up and interviewee interrupted before completing the answers...
Nehru had no business to take it to UN He did so only because he was under the influence of Mountbatten as Governor General and Englishman General Boucher as Commander of the Indian Army. after 15th August 1947 ! And why were they on those important/critical positions and Nehru did not have the spine to ask them to get lost ? The reason is that on 15th August 1947 what was achieved by the COngress was a TRANSFER OF POWER AGREEMENT WITH THE BRITISH -- NOT freedom. Google and get informed ! So when Nehru on 15th August 1947 hollered India woke to her freedom etc ---- he was lying. The British left because they had no choice after WW II and damage done to the4 Empire by Hitler and the Naval Mutiny at Bombay docks in February 1946. Lord Wavell -- then Viceroy -- in his then TOP SECRET letter to HMG in the UK advised that it was time to quit with dignity. The letter bearing dateline Simla and dated 13th July 1946 is now available at the British Library online Google and verify what I have said. Also Google and read about Brig General Cariappa's ( later Field Marshal ) Kashmir campaign and see for yourself how Nehru had referred the Kashmir matter to UN when Cariappa and his brave men in uniform were patiently removing the Pakistanis from Kashmir and making significant progress
Panditji'S SOFT TONE TOWARDS CHINA WAS INTERPRETED AS INDIA'S WEAKNESS !! Request Congress CHAMCHAS to ACCEPT THIS !! Panditji's ROMANTIC NOTIONS ABOUT THE NORTHEAST WAS DEVOID OF REALITY AND NEVER TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE DEMANDS AND NEEDS OF THE TRIBES AND PEOPLE OF NORTHEAST- MERELY TOOK THEM FOR GRANTED!!
This attitude continued, sadly, in the later governments of the Indian National Congress and led to SEPARATISM, VIOLENCE AND SECTARIAN CONFLICTS- EFFECTS OF WHICH CAN STILL BE FELT IN NORTH EASTERN INDIA TODAY !! HIS IDEALISM COST US A LOT!! HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A VISIONARY BUT I CAN'T OVERTAKE NETAJI SUBHAS BOSE AND SARDAR VALLABHAI PATEL'S SIGNIFICANCE OVER HIS !!
Was she even listening to this veteran diplomat ? He seemed to have wealth of knowledge, experience and seemed also keeping himself up to date at his age! And here is an interviewer who is so pre-occupied with her own train of thoughts and rehearsing the next question to be asked in her mind, that she didn't even realise that her questions kept on entering / interrupting incoherently through the conversation.
Owesome all positive about all leaders..zero politics..need people like this man.
With all due respect to Mr Rasgotra, Nehru despite the lack of foreign office & policy apparatus, was clueless on international diplomacy and was himself a very weak PM. His daughter Indira on the other hand to deal with open American support to Pakistan during 1970-71 Bangladesh movement & the subsequent war, refused to be intimidated by Nixon & his cabinet. In fact she had to deal with US's 7th fleet parked in Bay of Bengal and still took on Pakistan and won the war. Nehru was feckless across the board including with china in 1962. His defense minister VK menon was the worst India has had. Our diplomatic core including VIjayalakshmi Pandit were mediocre to say the least. The point is not we should look in the rear view mirror and bash Nehruji. But we absolutely must not come up with excuses for the disaster of those years. Otherwise we will never learn from the Era of disasters.
Yes and he is also responsible for radicalisation over there which is still a mess to this day
"People who criticise Nehru do not know what the circumstances were in 1947 "
"People who criticise Modi do not know what the circumstances are in 21st century "
That doesn't follow - very few people alive today were adults in 1947. Most people alive today are adults today.
@@JM-jj3eg if only we all were kids, no political drama, no religion fight, no crime n cruelty. But alas! We do grow up. And we suffer the lot we give birth to.
Awesome. Please have two hours interview with him. Inspiring @ 95. Brilliant
Don’t cut him off mid sentence when you edit. We don’t get to hear his full thoughts. And it’s disrespectful for someone of his stature.
Some very valuable insights indeed from a master of the craft... I have one teeny tiny suggestion.. please balance the volume of the interviewer's and the guest's voice.
Print tried a lot but the legend didn't fell in their trap so censored his talks.
why can't you let them speak? knowledge of the old is very important for the new generation.
Your voice was so clear
MODI CORRECTED IN 2019 WHAT Fundit Nehru messed up on Kashmir in 1947
Just ask this legend who and how many voted to nehru to become the pm
Print seems to be returning to its original roots of being old NDTV
Please do a detail podcast.... U have found an amazing person .... Who was been there and done that... Inspire of his old age has remarkable memory and sharp intelect... and please let him talk however in detail he wants to speak... Do not intrupt
In the name of non alignment we sided with soviet Union !
Most Indians are blissfully oblivious of what India was when Jawaharlal Nehru became PM. In any case it was a far better place to live than what exists today.
Shouldn't it be Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah instead of Farooq Abdullah in the subtitles?
Stop digging historical decisions, think what country needs today….
This is wrong you have posted video with various cut. We missed many important information which he was giving. If you take interview either put full video or don't put it on RUclips. Adha adha kam mat kijiye
We r still paying the price of the stupid decision of nehru to take Kashmir to UN
Request to the interviewer - please go-to the next question once the response is complete. Less talking, more listening.
What is this interview ? This Lady keep interrupting him without completing his answer.
He was absolutely wrong. Our army was dominated Pakistani army then what is the need to go in UN to seek intervention in Kashmir.
And to file case in wrong sense.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
We need one hour interview from the gentleman.
Oh yeah. It is "paying" us even today!!!
Thanks to print and interview Rasgothra the living legend on Foreign policy from PM Nehru days There cannot be more authentic information than from him.
Let the guest speak. you can edit the things which you dont want later. interrupting while explaining is disrespectful.
Headline could have been different. 'Current Government on the right track' for example !
Amazing! How does one maintain such a sharp intellect at the age of 95.
