In the temple of dynasty politics, Jawaharlal Nehru is the god, even for Sagarika Ghose, a ‘journalist’ who herself is a product of dynasty politics.
Today, on Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday, Ghose was fangirling on Nehru, his good looks and his Prince Charming-eque demeanour alone led India to modern India.
Jawaharlal Nehru, handsome Prince Charming of 1947, dreamer, idealist, intellectual, ROCKSTAR. #Nehrufangirl

She even went to say that if you abuse Nehru, you abuse yourself. (remember, India is Indira, Indira is India rhetoric?)
Without #Nehru, there would be no modern India, no striving for constitutional democracy, no reaching for the stars of science, no English-educated middle class so vibrant today. Anyone who abuses Nehru, abuses ourselves!

Everyone has their god. The unbiased, fourth estate bows their heads to the Church of Nehru.
Yes blame #Nehru for turning his back on wealth creation and pvt enterprise, but never forget that without him India’s democratic institutions would not have even a semblance of the dignity they have today

And for those calling #Nehru‘s Indian-ness into question: can any so called Hindutva neta do the shirshasana the way Nehru could? Can they? Lets have some evidence!

So what if he did not focus on bringing India back on her feet after centuries of plundering by Mughals and the British. At least he could do shirshasana (headstand pose) like no other!
After all, If you look closely, and if you invert the picture, you could see that Nehru held the entire world on his head.
When a Twitter user wondered about Ghose’s love for the dynasty politics, you know, just because someone belongs to the same gene pool doesn’t mean they’re fit to run a nation, Ghose was quick to point out that Nehru was always against the idea of dynasty politics. That’s why he ‘chose’ former Prime Minister Shastri as his successor.
Am sorry #Nehru was no believer in dynasty. His chosen successor was Shastri. If Shastri had not died, no Indira, no Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, no nothing… https://t.co/AL1a3YlvwL

Not Nehru’s fault that Shastriji died, under mysterious circumstances in Tashkent, and Indira had to become Prime Minister.
If Shastiji wouldn’t have died, we would’ve been spared of The Family.
Shame on you, Shastriji, for dying on us.
