Talk:Jawaharlal Nehru

Removing personal insults

I will go through momentarily, and remove all the posts from our anonymous vandal (67.121.*) that are direct personal insults. This is per Wikipedia:Remove_personal_attacks. Not sure how much of the POV vandal's material this will leave; but getting rid of personal attacks is more important than maintaining continuity. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 15:56, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)

Goodbye! I am not going to fight for getting facts across (...personal attack...). Since you have ended the discussion by refusing to allow me to even place the facts here, it is pointless to even attempt discussing anything with you. After all, you did not even know that India had institutions like Birla Engineering College, Bose Institute, Indian Association for Cultivation of Science and Indian Institute of Science. (...personal attack...). You even lie that India was not a planned economy under Nehru. (...personal attack...) made you learn everything from me in the course of this discussion. (...personal attack...), you did not know about production limits, planning commission and food rationing. I will not waste my time on this page anymore.

More selectively removed only the personal attacks from the previous 67.121.* comment.

Obviously, I've made an effort in my abridgements to leave anything of actual content by 67.121.*, removing only the personal attack violations. Not that I much agree with the content s/he alleges, but as long as it is not personal attack, it should be retained on the talk page. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 03:34, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)

Rajmohan Gandhi's "Boatman" ref

Hello,

Whoever placed the Rajmohan Gandhi - "Good Boatman" references had made a problematic insertion in my opinion:

(1) In his book Patel: A Life Gandhi NEVER called Patel an un-all India leader. The assertions in the edits could not have been made by the same man.

The problems with Muslims were a perceived flaw in Patel, but the edits cut him down as if he were genuinely controversial.

(2) WHY WOULD A MAJORITY OF CONGRESS vote for Patel if he was not a genuinely all-India leader?

(3) Azad, Kripalani, Prasad were not involved in the 1946 presidential elections. Kripalani had received the vote of one PCC, which he used to endorse Nehru.

I find it hard to believe that R. Gandhi made different assertions in different books. There is obviously no harm in putting up alternatives to the 1946 election controversy explanation, but this is a dubious insert.

Jai Sri Rama! User:Rama's Arrow.

Playboy interview?

According to Wikipedia's List of people in Playboy 1960–1969, Nehru appears to be the first sitting international leader to submit to an interview in Playboy magazine (October, 1964). Perhaps this should be mentioned?
