nehru attached with ganga....:-It was both interesting and intriguing that Rahul Gandhi waxed eloquent about Jawaharlal Nehru's love for river Ganga at the commemorative conference, saying his attachment to the civilizational symbol made him want his ashes to be scattered all over the country, and the river in particular.
While Nehru found most customs shackling, he described Ganga as his link to the past that he preferred not to snap. Nehru lived in Allahabad where the mighty river flows.
Rahul's choice of Ganga to explain Nehru's love for the country appeared a political move given the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi has turned the revered river into a vehicle for mass outreach by announcing it's cleaning as a policy goal. It appeared an attempt to counter the Modi plan that may only intensify with the passage of time, especially with him having become an MP from the temple town of Varanasi.
Saying he wanted to give to the gathering a glimpse of Nehru because he could not take them to Allahabad where he lived, Rahul quoted Nehru as saying, "I have been attached to the Ganga and the Jamuna rivers in Allahabad ever since my childhood and, as I have grown older, this attachment has also grown. The Ganga, especially, is the river of India, beloved of her people. She has been a symbol of India's culture and civilization, ever-changing, ever-flowing and ever the same Ganga. She reminds me of the snow-covered peaks and the deep valleys of the Himalayas..."
Added Rahul, "It was this desire to be one with his beloved country that led Nehru to ask that his ashes be scattered over the Ganga and India's soil."

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was so much attached to the river Ganga, because he lived in Allahabad and had seen the river Ganga since his childhood.
Explanation:
- His attachment toward the river Ganga grew with years. Pandit Nehru had seen the river in different seasons and he regarded the river Ganga as a symbol of age-long culture and civilization of India.
- Also, the river Ganga reminded Pandit Nehru of the Himalayas with peak and deep valleys for which he had so much of love. Hence, these scenic elements were the reason for his attachment to the river Ganga.
