Today world leaders across the global respect him . But if there's somewhere he is disrespected, somewhere he is insulted, it is in his country. Recently, the Singaporean prime minister praised him in his speech. The leaders who fought for and won independence are often exceptional individuals , of great courage, immense culture, and outstanding ability. They came through the crucible of fire , and emerged as leaders of men and nations . They are the David Ben -Gurions , the Jawaharlal Nehru. On the other hand, in india , fake news about him is often circulated. Often he is blamed for present problems. And sometimes, his photo with women are circulated to show that Nehru ji was a characterless man. To depict him as a person that went around doing depraved stuff with women What the Truth Behind it? 

In the year 1955, Nehru ji flew to London when his plane landed in London, and he came down the stairs of the plane, his sister Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit was there to receive him. She was happy to see him Nehru ji got down and went to her . At this point in time , if I has a time machine, I would've travelled back in time, and would have asked him not to hug her. Even though I know she's his sister, their hug led to many problems. Nehru ji would then ask me what my problem is why can't he hug his sister? They hadn't seen each other for quite a while. And they were very happy to see each other . Why should it cause any problems? I'd tell Nehru ji that photographer Homai Vyara Walla would click his photo then of him hugging his sister. But 70 years later , that photo would be misused. To defame him . Some members of the WhatsApp University and IT Cell, would circulate his photo to show that he was hugging a woman. And they'd question the relation between the two. Nehru ji would think that everyone would know that she's his sister. He'd wonder why people wouldn't just use their brains. I'd reply by saying that thought people can use their brains, but it is the era of the internet with the invention of the internet a few years later, things like Twitter and WhatsApp would be formed. Things that work by distracting people. People don't have the time to use their brains. Most of the people would believe the lie circulate on WhatsApp. Confused Nehru ji would ask why anyone would want to defame him. He hasn't done anyone wrong. I'd try to explain the current situation to him . I'd tell him that 70 years later, the unemployment would rise so much in the country that people would circulate these fake messages for even pennies. They'd spread fake news and hatred in the country.And some political parties would use him . It would become very important for them to defame Nehru ji , to protect their ego. Louis Mountbatten was appointed the viceroy of India ( March 1947) . He came to India with his wife Edwina Mountbatten and his 17 years old daughter Pamela. It was a time when long discussion were underway on what should India's independence look like. The specific laws and rules that were needed to be made and imposed. There were extensive discussion between the Indians and Britishers. During these times, pandit Nehru became good friends with Edwina Mountbatten. Perhaps closer than just friends. Pandit Nehru ji is seen smoking a cigarette. We know that smoking is very injurious to one's health. It's a bad habit . But that can't be used to judge the character of a person. Cannot be labelled as a bad people simply because they smoked. But in Nehru's time , in the 1950s it was a time when many campaign were launched by the cigarette companies to promote smoking. At the time , in the media and in people perception, smoking didn't have as bad an image as it has today. Many people didn't even know that smoking is a bad habit. That it's Injurious to health. In fact, it was in 1964 , that the Surgeon General of the US, Luther Terry made a bold announcement, and published a definite report that smoking cause Lungs Cancer . 

You don't need to be a Congress supported to admire Pandit Nehru ji . You simple need to have Respect for India's freedom struggle.
