Secular Nehru



What kind of man would spend Rs. 25, 000/day on luxuries for himself when the rest of the country lived on three paisa a day. A self-centered narcissistic man who would sit on his green lawn with a fresh rose tucked in his suit and enjoyed tea.
.
If Nehru were a secular man, he would have passed the Uniform Civil Code guaranteeing universal human rights to everybody irrespective of caste, religion or gender. Our consititution, written by Ambedkar, clearly states that UCC should be passed within ten years of accepting the constitution.
.
The other thing that the constitution states is to have universal education within ten years. But Nehru didn't have care about it. Even today, 70 years after independence, we don't have universal education and the govt. education is appalling. Making a few factories and five IITs in a tenure of 16 years should not be seen as a success but as a failure - it should be a reminder of how little was achieved in those 16 years.
