Fantastic article from ABC news in Australia. Thanks for bringing it to us
Mervyn.
It would have been wonderful if Nehru were living today when the world really
needs the lessons he could teach us.
When capitalism runs rife and creates horrible inequities, for example vaccines
that are wasted in rich countries while they are sorely needed in poor, when
America and China run riot where help is really needed, when a powerful voice
like his is sorely missing in a completely weakened United Nations, the need
for a Nehru is badly felt.
Admittedly he failed in advancing India’s economic interests although he did
give the country a solid industrial base and and a sound political system in
which to grow.
But can you imagine in 2021 a Nehru as Prime Minister and a Manmohan Singh in
Finance. India would have been a country to admire.
