Early military leadership was elite & coming from upper strata of society & Nehru's upbringing was in downtrodden family of Allahabad? What a narrative setting ? He hailed from affluent family & educated in UK much more wealthy than so called public school elite army chiefs.
My father wrote the Henderson Brooks/ Bhagat report which was in those days called the NEFA inquiry
That is incredible. Nehru himself was a product of the British legacy.
So are we.
Think about it.
@@hotfun07Nehru was appointed not selected to lead the country.

We did think, And we find that you are irrational and perspective-less. You talk generalized nonsense like Rahul Baba.
Author, Mr Aditya Sondhi, has brought out some very relevant points. An army myself, I didn’t know them. Thanks Aditya.
My father the Late Lt Gen PS Bhagat has close connections with Nehru and Nehru did not want want an army only police. He actually asked my father when he was Director DMI, he asked my father when are you going to take over the country with Gen Thimayya-- read my book The Victoria Cross; a love story.
Harish Sarin an IAS officer and Jagjivan Ram with Indira Gandhi did not allow my father to become the Chief.
I have met all the generals you have talked about.
very interesting...will definitely buy
My father was also not allowed to live.
So Nehru trusted Pakistan and China more than he did the generals.We lost POK, Gilgit-Baltistan and Aksai Chin thereby. What did we gain?
We gained an India you see today- as against the Pak you see.

Was it necessary to pay such an exorbitant price?
@@AlokAsthana1954 Well said 👏. Nehru oriented India towards infrastructure building, scientific research and education '. Pakistan oriented towards chest thumping nationalism, aggression and expansionism. Today we can clearly see how both countries have constantly followed the same trajectory over 70 years.
Nehru was not a perfect leader, neither is Modi nor is anyone else. But history will judge Nehru more favourably than modern day brainwashed internet trolls.
@@physicsonline8853 Indeed. Nothing is for free. Would you have preferred India winning the China war, but today being like Pakistan?
Just say Yes or No. You have the right to choose any.
@@AlokAsthana1954
"Have you stopped beating your wife? Answer yes or no." Sorry,I don't go there.
Nehru was to be commended for many virtues:also criticized for many faults.It was in that context I made my comments.
Very naive analysis. Because they were gentlemen they did not grab power.
You're a naive boy. Write a book yourself with counter points.
All said and done,
India HAS BEEN HOPELESS AT BUILDING A MILLITARY SINCE INDEPENDENCE.
It's SUCH A BIG SHAME!
Nehru was wrong about every general trained by the British. All this is my book.
The very basis of this book is irrationality, generalizations, and perspective-less-ness.
Nehru was wary of British origin of the Indian army but he was perfectly fine with British origin of lady Mountbatten.😅
lmao
@@user-f9u Disgusting.Thats hardly a decent way people talk of its PM and a lady.
😂😅
Jinnah was Loner?
JINNAH, A SECOND GENERATION CONVERTED SINDHI BANIYA, HAD DEVISED TO BE THE 'SOLE SPOKESMAN' AND BE ALONE WIELDER OF POWER!
What manipulation. Are Pakistani Lobbyists in US-UK paying you to write this Book? With ample blessings of the Establishment in US-UK?
if Nehru had maintained its Army like Pakistan then 62 result could have been different
So you want us to be like Pak which has had military rulers mostly
@@mehmano9045
No idiot, he said that we must have maintained an army like Pakistan that trues to use all avenues to win a war, why you twisting his statement?. We win wars against Pakistan, but unlike other countries we are fools who lost territory - unlike any developed country- only because of incompetent Nehru who was a foolish dictator. Yes NEHRU was a COWARD who used Gandhi to ask Patel to not contest election so that he became P.M through back door, THE Nehru family including Rahul do cowardly politics.
