Pandit Nehru was the apostle of peace, progress and development

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru is not only the first Prime Minister but also the maker of modern India. He may be the first among equals if we talk of all the PMs of the country so far, but he is the only one who made a great sacrifice for the freedom of the country by passing his youthful days in different jails of the country. He has been considered to be the statesman of the international repute. As far as the freedom fighters are considered, he is the greatest after the father of the nation Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi. Pt. Nehru spent his youth in different jails during the freedom struggle. Pt. Nehru's contribution is only second to Mahatma Gandhi in freeing the nation from the shackles of British rulers. Pandit Nehru was not only the leader of India but also the world. He gave the nation a direction of peace, progress and development. He made an immense contribution to the launching of the Non-aligned Movement to make the world multi-polar. He had a scientific bent of mind and laid the plinth of industrialization and helped much in developing scientific temper in India. All symbols of progress in the country so far testify the fact that Pt. Nehru was the apostle of peace, progress and development. He was a liberal, forward-looking, progressive, vibrant and multi-faceted personality. If anyone in India thought about the development of the nation, it was Nehru who was the first to do so. He has been incomparable all his life. He was a giant while other PMs were dwarf before him in terms of political and national stature if we ever tried to put him in their line. In the given position of Pt. Nehru, any attempt by the incumbent government at the Centre to undermine Nehru Memorial Museum and Library at the historic Teen Murti Bhavan in New Delhi where he spent his life as the first Prime Minister of India would certainly boomerang on it. Nehru Memorial Museum and Library has kept the memories and description of the legendary Pandit Nehru. His contribution and works for the nation would prove to be an inspiration for the coming generations. He was a versatile genius. Pt. Nehru also wrote books of world repute. He was an acclaimed political leader. He led the nation from the front before and after the Independence. He was a true democratic who never undermined his political opponents and rivals despite being the most popular mass leader of the country. He was very fond of children. Which is why he was also called Chacha Nehru. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has rightly written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to leave the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) "undisturbed". He has rightly said that this would be respecting both history and heritage. The NMML was established in the memory of India's first prime minister and the museum at the Teen Murti House has preserved some rooms as they were at the time of Nehru's death.
