Remembering Jawaharlal Nehru on his death anniversary: 

Jawaharlal Nehru was truly an eclectic mind, open to the world yet embedded in the composite culture of India. We ascribe an expression called Nehruvian to those who espouse an Indian nationalism which is secular, tolerant, inclusive and non-discriminatory. #JawaharlalNehru

Once upon a time,this was how a public leader humbly went calling upon a Guru, accompanied by top industrialist Sarabhai's daughter. As his car arrived,my mother wrote, Nehru himself got the door for the great poet-founder of Shantiniketan. pic.twitter.com/pp8VokLOzk

“Science alone can solve the problems of hunger & poverty, of superstition & deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people. The future belongs to science & those who make friends with science.”
