What is Nehru's observation on democratic collectivism?
Answers
Explanation:
Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964) was the Prime Minister from the day of Independence, 15 August 1947 to his death on 27 May 1964. He was chosen as the ‘natural successor’ by Mahatma Gandhi. However, Nehru, unlike Gandhi, never attempted to build a team, the very essence of parliamentary democracy. Nor for that matter did he name his successor.
“Panditji knows best” was his guiding principle. He shouldered a forbidding workload as he headed the two ministries of Foreign Affairs and Atomic Energy, apart from being the Prime Minister. As Aakar Patel once wrote about Nehru: “He made too many speeches (often three a day) and spent too much time lecturing the West. He was careless with his time, once giving three hours to a high school delegation from Australia, while his ministers waited outside”.
