Question

summary on nehru view on Democracy​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru is not only the first Prime Minister of India but also the main gardener who sowed and flowered the spirit of democracy in a highly diverse country. His ideas of democracy were liberal but classical. He was a man of inclusive nature who lived a life absolutely devoted to India and for him this devotion rested on the edifice of democratic ideals. He conceptualised democracy in the Western liberal framework where the elections were to be organised in a regular fashion, with participation from all Indians who had full faith on their Constitution and the political insti-tutions.

Explanation:

Nehru’s legacy lives on, encouraging his real legatees, the people of India, to cherish democratic ideals of pluralism and secularism. He famously told an interviewer in 1961, three years before he died, that he didn’t plan a dynasty because he was incapable of ruling from the grave.When he died in 1964, Jawaharlal Nehru's legacy to the nation and the world seemed secure. A towering figure in national politics and on the international stage, the reflective, mercurial Nehru had — in innumerable books and speeches, but also in his conduct as a Prime Minister — developed and articulated a worldview that embodied the aspirations of his generation, of his country and (many believed) of the developing postcolonial world as a whole. “We are all Nehruvians,” a senior Indian official told me 13 years later, with conviction and pride, of his colleagues in the Indian ruling establishment.

Four decades after that remark was made to me, there are few Nehruvians in office. Indeed, Nehruvianism seems to have lost both power and allure. Nehru is criticized, even derided, by votaries of an alternative version of Indian nationalism, one that claims to be more deeply rooted in the land (and therefore in its religious traditions and customary prejudices). His mistakes are magnified, his achievements belittled. The Prime Minister regularly goes after Nehru, accusing him and his family of monopolizing India’s institutions and installing a dynasty. So it does not come as a surprise that this newspaper has asked me to write on “whether Nehru was a narcissist, obsessed with power, who did not allow others to rise”. But it is deeply disappointing that such an a-historical question should be asked at all.
