A verse-by-verse contrast between DVG's Svatantra bhārata abhinandanā stava and Nehru's Tryst with Destiny speech reveals several eye-opening facets of an India after independence.
The first episode in a series contrasting Nehru's Tryst with Destiny Speech and D.V. Gundappa's poem, Svatantra-bhārata Abhinandana Stava, celebrating India's independence.
In this episode, DVG provides several eye-opening details about how pervasive corruption had become as early as 1949. We learn that the Dehradun Session of the Congress witnessed Nehru offering a pathetic apologia for this rot.
It is astonishing that even after 60 years, there is not a single creative work narrating the dark truths of the 1962 humiliation that India was made to suffer at Chinese hands by Jawaharlal Nehru.
The honest student of Indian history cannot but help to contrast the profound spiritual history and inheritance of Prayaga with Nawab Nehru who never understood its real significance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to thoroughly revamp the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library and rename it as the Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya should be celebrated.
