"Dhuleti "the most Auspicious Day in Hindu Religion is his Birthday according to Hindu Calendar Year.
                                                                      He was a man of principles and values which became  his political liabilities. He paid heavily for the same in politic. He was not ready to compromise with the principles which he considered to be the incarnation of Truth.  It also created the impression of stiffness and unflaxibilitiy. Laxman use to draw his Cartoon by putting his Cap on the Stick(i.e.The Sign of Stiffness). However he rarely defended his criticism as he considered it as a Healthy sign in Democracy.  Once he said that if you considered me Stiff then you are also Stiff as you are trying to impose your view on me. But most important thing is that he was very much tolerant of different views.

                                                                     He was one of the best administrators and honest politician.He believed that you can be in politics with some values and principles. He never compromised with the public interest for his popularity. The old 'Bilingual Bombay State' administration was the best in India during his tenor as Home Minister and Chief minister thereafter.

                                                                       He once Sealed the news paper Daily Agrani 'Hindu Rashtra' run by Nathuram Godse(Who murdered Mahatma Gandhi) for writing continuously against Mahatma Gandhi then. Nathuram Godse complained to him for the same stating that he can write against anybody in the democratic set up of India.  He replied to him very curtly that you cannot go on writing against Gandhi whom whole Nation loves and Respect . You cannot hurt the sentiments of Indian Masses.  Bombay police then sent report against Godse and his colleagues for their undesirable activities. But Gandhiji could not be saved as he refused to allow screening of the people who come to his daily prayer meetings. He also handled very well all rebellion political leadership of Bombay including George Fernandes (A Trade Union Leader then).  Baburao Patel, Editor' Film India', Bombay then use to addressed him as a  Bull of Bulsar.  He was very strict once legally  proved that something wrong was done. He sent even Indira Gandhi to Tihar Jail for three days for misleading the parliament in spite of several representations by prominent political leaders. However he never allowed anybody to touch Indira Gandhi unless and until legally charges are proved. It is well known fact that Indira took the advantage of the same and toppled the' Janata Government' before the the publication of Shah Commission Report. The law and order was completely under control during his tenor in Bombay. The very few persons may be knowing that father of Don Daoud was one of the a honest constables in the Bombay police force then.

                                                                       His political career was damaged in Gujarat and Maharashtra by Dynasty and Wasted interest for stopping him from taking over reign of India after Nehru. Thereafter he has to wait for about more then fifteen  years to become the Prime Minister of India. However during his tenor as a Prime Minister all controls were removed and all essential commodities were available freely and in plenty. The inflation rate was the lowest  in the history of independent India during his time. The International Relations were very cordial  including with Pakistan. He reestablished the democracy and amended the constitution in such a manner that Emergency cannot be imposed by any one without the absolute majority in parliament. It is unfortunate that his regime could not survived for long time otherwise Indian history would have been different.
