In 1964, Jawaharlal Nehru gave (what I think) was his very last TV Interview found in DD’s archive. The interview was just months before he passed away. Watch it for yourselves, if you want proof of what I’m sating below.
Some brief observations of the man himself.
- He was clearly exhausted.
- He seemed quite disappointed with the state of affairs.
- He also looks despondent of the future.
- He was clearly frustrated with the Hindu-Muslim equation, as also with China.
His inability to even look at the Interviewer, especially in the initial part of the interview when the domestic Hindu-Muslim situation was being talked about, is telling. It is only later, when talking about external matters that he consistently looks at the American Interviewer. Body language rarely fails to tell the truth!
He even concedes that China and Pakistan were “together” from the very beginning of partition! He also categorically states that the Muslims are a lot that will overrun the Hindus who aren’t a marauding lot! Yet the man “gave away” the Security Council seat to China! Clearly an idiotic decision!
Nehru’s own words: “The Hindus were not and are not a proselytising race, while the Muslims are!” He goes on to say “… nearly all the muslims in India are dependents of Hindus!…”Yet Nehru’s great grandson and his current ConGress party fight the RSS on exactly this point!!! What irony!
This Nehru Interview should shut up all the sickularists for good … on Hindu-Muslim tensions these days, as well as China, etc!
Nehru’s take on Kashmir is telling. His words are best heard yourself. Have patience, watch the whole clip (45 minutes in all) with as much concentration as you can! I’ve heard the whole clip multiple times, and I’m aghast that the present day ConGress of Sonia Maino & her kids, stands on exactly the opposite end of Nehru’s arguments!
Had the ConGress stuck to authentic, core, Nehruvian thought, they’d never have lost power!
Clearly, the RSS & BJP have in reality taken over the basic thoughts enunciated by Nehru! And it is no wonder that they’re growing stronger by the year!
Again, watch the Nehru last interview . It is worth it!
And tell your kids to do so!!! Let the truth be known instead of the violently vitiated versons floating around propagated by an ignorant media.
