Nice read
It is so inspiring to read impressions of the generation that has witnessed the era itself, shaped our country from earliest days of freedom, following the inspiration and guiding light of the most iconic leaders. Very interesting article on the constructive projects and vision of Pt. Nehru. India owes his earliest leaders, esp. Nehru, for the solid foundation that has resulted in its present day influential position in almost all spheres - economic, scientific, technological, political alike.

Remembering Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru – A visionary
By PR Chaswal
Men of Nehru's stature and vision are born rarely in the life of a nation. The very thought that I have the privilege of hailing from that glorious age which is known as the 'Nehru Era' when that great visionary philosopher-statesman whose name became synonymous with modern India, guided the destiny of the Indian nation fills me with a peculiar sense of intense pride and dignity. Needless to mention that, freed from the yolk of colonial rule, India reverberated with a newfound wave of inspiration and idealism at the dawn of independence. It is equally true to say as events proved that it was auspiciously significant to have Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as the supreme leader of our country, primarily because in him we had a person who could remain intensely humane and compassionate in his approach even at the pinnacle of glory and achievement.
It will be in the fitness of things to say that the proud position that India enjoys today in the comity of nations is largely due to the flawless policies and people-oriented programs enunciated by Pandit Nehru during the early days of our independence when the foundations of new India were being laid under his unique guiding spirit with unflinching faith in basic human values of peaceful co-existence, non-violence, universal brotherhood, mutual understanding, harmony, reciprocity, and tolerance. He received so much tremendous affection and a massive mandate from the people to rule which could have easily turned him into a dictator, yet he remained true to the ideals of democracy, secularism, socialism, and principles of natural justice in all situations at all times.
