Honing talent
To be Nehruvian is to have a
tremendous nose for ferretting talent,
and on that count, Nehru was an ace.
No Indian Prime Minister matched his
capacity to reach out to the very best in
every field and give them the freedom to
create great things. True, Indira Gandhi
came close, but could never really match
her father in this respect.

Economic order
The economy was a major concern for
Nehru. His chosen method to make it
grow through planned development
came from expert support from the
eminent statistician, PC Mahalanobis.
It was remarkably successful. As the
economist Pulepre Balakrishnan,
writing in The Hindu , noted: “the
acceleration of growth achieved in the
1950s has not been exceeded since. Also,
that India grew faster than China in the
Nehru era.” Contrary to popular
perception, India under Nehru was no
wasteland.
