December 6, 2012, 09:48 PM ISTDoes this blogger think that the ordinary people have no memory or no access to truth and history? And that whatever they feed us we will accept? Sharmila has tried to glorify Nehru's promiscuous past. Nehru neglected his wife ( she died of TB and Indira Gandhi never excused Nehru for the neglect), but no beautiful women could escape his encounter. One Sanyasin from Hydrabad is noteworthy here. She had easy access to Nehru and both of them exchanged letters. When this Sanyasin died the mother of the mission where she was living, found a bunch of letters in her belongings that had Nehru's signature and written in prime minister's letterhead. Nehru died of syphilis. That possibly explains all.
But our main concern is, that Nehru-Edwina relationship has cost the nation the vast area of Kashmir to Pakistan and to China. Mountbatten knowing Nehru's weakness for women deliberately used Edwina to manipulate Nehru. At that time Indian army was strong enough. But Pakistan did not have a proper army infrastucture ( since it was just a new nation). India could have easily recaptured Kashmir. But Mountbatten used Edwina there to reach Nehru. Nehru stopped the then army general Jayant Chowdhury from reoccupying Kashmir. If we did not have a womanizer Prime minister like him then there would not have been partition ( YES, only Mohandas Gandhi and Nehru made it happen), and the vast area of Kashmir would have been with us.
