When leaders make mistakes it lasts longer. Nehru was a statesman ( may be the first & last India had). His early decisions made marvels in India and his concept of socialism impacted India in the long run but the decision was wise. It was prolonged by successive hero worshippers who didnt have much worldly view and the impact it created cannot be attributed to him. It was a shared mistake and Indira Gandhi is not wiser like Nehru. But I believe, Nehru made a mistake by taking Kashmir to UN. It was a half-hearted effort.
Today I learnt that "India was offered a permanent seat on the council 55 years ago, in 1955. But that offer, made by the United States and the Soviet Union, was declined by India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Nehru said the seat should be given to China instead"
What a himalayan blunder? What is the reason? Need to read further.
