Jawaherlal Nehru- 14 Th November his Birth Day and known as 'Children Day'
                                                                                                                                                                To day is 14 Th November 2014 ' The 125 Th Birth Anniversary  of Jawaherlal Nehru first Prime Minister of India.  Nehru was a Mass Leader, Historian, and Statesman of the World,  He was very handsome and  charismatic  which had also attracted his personality among masses and including among women.  His mass popularity had also became his greatest weakness for taking certain decisions which have been not in the interest  of our country. We Indians are always Hero worshipers and we ignore the weaknesses of the Heroes.

                                                         Nehru was basically leftist and was very much impressed with European revolutions and its out come.  However he was completely secular by nature without knowing much about Hindu philosophy. One of his colleagues told in his biography that Nehru would have been more effective if he knew Hinduism in right perceptive.  However leftist generally do not go with religious philosophy. He was one of such leaders. He was leftist from beginning and all his friends who were studying in London with him were mostly leftist or fellow traveler. Once upon a time even his father Motilal Nehru who was conservative was worried looking at his ideological outlook. That was one of the reasons he brought to Jawaherlal under the influence Mahatma Gandhi. However it is also known very well that  Jawaherlal never agreed completely with the views of Gandhiji.  He headed the leftist group then in congress against majority conservative group.  Ram Manoher Lohiya, Jayprakash Narayan, and most of other leftist leader in congress were his best friends. Besides that most of the leftist leaders decided to leave the congress  after independence to form separate party. But Nehru decided to remain in congress .i.e. To implement the leftist policy from within. Ram Manoher Lohiya was arrested several time by Nehru Government during agitations  but their friendship remain in tact. Nehru use to send him fruits for Lohiya during his detention. That was a greatness of Nehru as he was democrat.
                          Jawaherlaa Nehru created a third force of Non-Aligned  in  order to give voice for new Independent Countries then among the world power i.e. USA and Russia. He also maintained the secular culture of India in the difficult time. He was a father of Industrialization in India including of the public sectors. He also executed huge Hydro Electric Projects like Bhakhara Naggal etc. It was his vision to have high technological schools like IIT etc. The Atomic, and Space Research were his pet projects. Hence he was very progressive mass charismatic leader.
                              However he had his ambition for taking the leadership of world  of the world.  Kashmir is still very crucial problem because he went to 'UNO' even ignoring the advise of Sardar Patel then.  Sardar was very strong in other cases like Junagadh and Hyderabad otherwise India would have been in deep trouble. Nehru was for strong unitary government of India on historical ground but he bow down as he was afraid of losing his popularity. Therefore he gave up   in the fevour of the  linguistic provinces. He believed in keeping  Bombay as a separate entity on account of its cosmopolitan nature. However he gave up against linguistic forces. He was very emotional, and  popularity conscious.

                             Besides that Nehru had soft corner for her daughter Indira Gandhi and he groomed her in his life time by managing to get her elected as a Congress President. It is to be noted that it was against the claims of several Senior Leaders of Congress then. That became the foundation of Nehru dynasty which we have already gone though.
                                However he was also founder of the roots of democracy in India which can not be forgotten on this day.
