Book Description
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.--George SantayanaBut for a series of major blunders by Nehru across the spectrum--it would not be an exaggeration to say that he blundered comprehensively--India would have been on a rapidly ascending path to becoming a shining, prosperous, first-world country by the end of his term, and would surely have become so by early 1980s--provided, of course, Nehru's dynasty had not followed him to power. Sadly, the Nehru era laid the foundations of India's poverty and misery, condemning it to be forever a developing, third-rate, third-world country. By chronicling those blunders, this book highlights THE FACTS BEHIND THE FACADE.This 'Revised, Enlarged & Unabridged, June-2018 Edition' of the book comprises (a)123 Major Blunders compared to 97 of the first Digital Edition of July 2016; (b)over twice the matter, and number of words; and (c)exhaustive citations and complete bibliography. Blunders is used in this book as a general term to also include failures, neglect, wrong policies, bad decisions, despicable and disgraceful acts, usurping undeserved posts, etc.It is not the intention of this book to be critical of Nehru, but historical facts, that have often been distorted or glossed over or suppressed must be known widely, lest the mistakes be repeated, and so that India has a brighter future.

Book Description
Study the past, if you would divine the future. -Confucius ..".[then] it seemed to me that Jawaharlal should be the new President [of Congress in 1946-and hence the first Prime Minister] ...I acted according to my best judgement but the way things have shaped since then has made me to realise that this was perhaps the greatest blunder of my political life... My second mistake was that when I decided not to stand myself, I did not support Sardar Patel." -Abul Kalam Azad, 'India Wins Freedom' "He [Nehru] had no idea of economics. He talked of Socialism, but he did not know how to define it. He talked of social justice, but I told him he could have this only when there was an increase in production. He did not grasp that. So you need a leader who understands economic issues and will invigorate your economy." -Chester Bowles "Malcolm Muggeridge, after seeing Nehru shortly before his death, characterized him as 'a man of echoes and mimicry, the last viceroy rather than the first leader of a liberated India', and regretted that Nehru was much too British in his approach to have been able to bring about significant or radical changes in India." - Sankar Ghose in 'Jawaharlal Nehru, a Biography' "It is completely impracticable for the Chinese Government to think of anything in the nature of invasion of India. Therefore I rule it out..." "We were getting out of touch with reality in the modern world and we were living in an artificial atmosphere of our creation..." -Jawaharlal Nehru This book summarises (and is therefore compact) the select 97 major blunders of Nehru. While all major blunders are not covered, none of the minor blunders are included. There are a sea of books eulogising Nehru, and reader can refer to them. The focus of this book is on Nehru's blunders, and not on his positives. Blunders is used in this book as a general term to also include failures, neglect, wrong policies, usurping undeserved posts, etc. It is not the intention of this book to be critical of Nehru, but historical facts, that have often been distorted or glossed over or suppressed must be known widely, lest the mistakes be repeated.

Book Description
This book is a fascinating and wholly absorbing contribution to the history of the twentieth century. This fast-moving, lively and independent account of the politics and international affairs is enriched by intimate, perceptive and far from uncritical sketches of great leaders such as Gandhi, Jinnah, Nehru, Desai and Patel. Perhaps no other book reminds the reader so firmly that politics, even at its most exalted and dramatic, is about people. Certainly no one who is interested in India, in the history of British imperialism or in the realities of present day Asia can neglect this goldmine of a book.

Book Description
What did Mountbatten actually think of Nehru and Patel? Why did Nehru do such a poor job of defending India's interests in J & K? How was Nehru compromised? Nehru's Himalayan Blunders: The Accession of Jammu and Kashmir documents the major errors of Nehru, diplomatic and military, which led to India losing a portion of Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan's military occupation and to continued conflict between the two states. Justice S N Aggarwal's painstaking research uncovers gems from archival documents including Lord Mountbatten's personal diaries and documents the series of events around Jammu and Kashmir's accession, including the conflict between Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel. An enduring view into what actually happened, and Nehru's culpability, will leave you stunned.

Book Description
This book comprehensively covers all the aspects and angles, and the machinations that ultimately culminated in the partition of India, and creation of Pakistan. The book begins (Chapter-1) by deliberating on the questions of country, state, nation, nationhood, and nationality; and discusses India, Pakistan, Hindus and Muslims in that context. Chapter-2 deals with the interesting contrast on the attitudes of the Muslim leadership in the Muslim-majority provinces on creation of Pakistan with that of the Muslim-minority provinces like UP-the latter being the prime movers. Chapter-3 brings out the REAL reasons and details all the different factors responsible for the creation of Pakistan, categorised under three main heads: (a)British Vested Interests; (b)Islam, Muslim-mindset and Muslim leadership; and (c)Clueless Congress Leadership. Chapter-4 gives an overview of the main Muslim political parties; and the biographical details of prominent Muslim leaders. Chapter-5 presents detailed 'Timelines of Run-up to the Partition' starting from 1881. Chapter-6 'Timelines of the Partition Process' brings out all the interesting happenings leading to the actual partition triggered by Attlee's declaration of "Quit India" resolve on 20 February 1947. Chapter-7 discusses the 'Diabolical British-Muslim League Design' to ensure a highly truncated India by hiving off all of Punjab, Bengal and Assam to Pakistan. Chapter-8 deals with the arduous task of partition of assets between India and Pakistan ably handled under the guidance of Sardar Patel. The last chapter (Chapter-9) deals with the horror of partition and the irresponsible way in which it was handled by all the parties responsible-the British, the Congress leadership, and the Muslim leadership-especially the British. www.rkpbooks.com
