1. He was the one who introduced communal politics by supporting Khilafat movement the example of which is practiced by the Nehru clan and many other politicians now
Silly on the Khilafat movement, I agree but your other connections are equally silly.
2. Foistering of the Nehru clan on India as opposed to Sardar who enjoyed the support of the majority Congress Pradesh Committee members and we all know what has Nehru clan did for India - first and foremost denying India of a proper secular country - different personal laws for different religions carrying forward the legacy of British rule i.e divide and rule policy.
Standard canard spread by people who don't bother to read. Gandhi was responsible for Sardar Patel's rise and they shared a very close relationship frayed only at the very end and Patel was devastated at his death.
As for Patel running the government, people forget that Patel became seriously ill fairly soon after independence & died soon after. Nehru would still have been leader, being the tallest among his contemporaries. Nothing could/would have changed. The fact that you think Gandhi was able to foist Nehru shows an acknowledgement of the enormous power he held on the affection of the people. Everyone who hates Gandhi does so because he didn't support "X" or "Y" over "Z". They don't even realise that by doing so, they are acknowledging how important & great Gandhi was in the matter of things. Btw, Sardar Patel would never have crossed Gandhi, no matter what, so much was his affection for him. Are you suggesting that the hard nosed Patel was a gullible fool?
I can go on and on but not worth the discussion here in this thread.
Thank you for small mercies.
