Nehru was right in taking Kashmir to the UN. It paid us later

  • At 95, M.K. Rasgotra is probably India’s oldest and among its most experienced diplomats. In this interview with The Print’s Nayanima Basu, Rasgotra says ex- Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru took the right decision to take the Kashmir dispute to the UN. His book, ‘A Life In Diplomacy,’ vividly describes how India’s foreign policy came into being after independence in 1947 under Nehru, who was his own foreign minister and how that era compares with Modi’s foreign policy today.

      She's isn't a reporter, she's a loudspeaker. Even the editors of this video didn't find it intelligible to normalise her audio - she remains loud while the gentleman's voice is 3 levels below hers.
      She's been doing this in all her "interviews" - interruption, steering the conversation in a direction where the interviewee's answers are more in line with her understanding instead of the other way round.

      Yes...he is brilliant. This lady is a dumb anchor. I would like to hear more of his wisdom. He is great. Truly a legend and history ought to be written along his thoughts. Beautifully articulated. But stupid anchors like this lady spoils it all. I believe it seem to be a standard norm with all damn India media anchors. Hopefully, there could be another proper interview. The world ought to know the truth behind multiple India's policy decisions.

    Seriously! The lady interrupted the diplomat at the wrong time - I really wanted to know what Nehru told Zhou Enlai on Dalai Lama's asylum question!

      He was the foreign secretary during the Bhopal gas disaster. It is claimed by the then Deputy Chief of Mission of the US Embassy in New Delhi in 1984, in an interview with a news channel, that communications between the Government of India and himself relating to the release of Warren Anderson CEO of Union Carbide to return to the US went through the Foreign Secretary. In a subsequent interview with Karan Thapar, Mr Rasgotra held that releasing Warren Anderson was the right thing to do since he had been earlier promised safe passage

As for Aderson's exit after the Bhopal tragedy, it definitely was a dark chapter in our history, but are you or anyone else aware of what pressures were brought upon India by the USA at that time? What compelled our country to let this guy leave? After 9/11 why several Saudis were allowed to leave the USA? What economic and political pressures/compulsions compelled the US administration to allow that?

    Nehru took Kashmir to UN in his personal capacity without the approval of the parliament.
    The biggest blunder he did was to name it as disputed matter instead of terming it as invaded or occupied.
    On one hand our army was pushing Pakistani kabailis back and this bastard was blocking at UN

And here is an interviewer who is so pre-occupied with her own train of thoughts and rehearsing the next question to be asked in her mind, that she didn't even realise that her questions kept on entering / interrupting incoherently through the conversation.

    Except for perhaps Kashmir, Nehru’s foreign policy was very beneficial for India.
    If it were not for the non aligned movement we would have had to sacrifice all our resources to either USA or USSR. Instead we could cooperate with both of them.
    Also under Nehru India was at forefront of the pro democratic movement worldwide and ended the Korean War.
    Besides if it were not for Nehru Kashmir would be with Pakistan. No matter what narrative BJP created everyone including Sardar Patel did not care if Kashmir went to Pakistan, they were more worried about Hyderabad.

      1. When elections were being held , it simply was not decided that the congress president would become the PM, also Patel was in a bad health condition, so he also got sympathy votes as he might not live long enough to appear in further elections, about popularity as a leader, Nehru had been elected 3 times as the president whereas Patel only 1 time, not counting the final one in both cases, I'm not 100% sure here, but Nehru as far as i know didn't even stand in that election, so obviously wouldn't get any seats.
      2. Membership was never offered lmao, it was said in an informal conversation jokingly to Nehru weather India too wants it.
      Not saying Nehru was perfect but at least be factually correct while criticising him.
