Nehru's personal shortcoming does not diminish his greatness
I hope freedom of speech will not be ignored while the profile of Jawaharlal Nehru is edited. The profile should truthfully reflect his life. It should not suppress truth just because it is unsavory. It will be a pity if future generations are kept in dark about such things. What should be appreciated is in spite of personal shortcomings, Nehru was a towering personality in his time and had tremendously contributed to the independence struggle which is far more important than his failings. Winston Churchill's animosity towards India in no way affects his greatness as a war hero.
