“Nobody can question the role of Mahatma Gandhi in awakening the society. He exhorted people many times through his agitations. People thronged jails on his just one call. But his biggest mistake was to select Pt Jawaharlal Nehru as his successor. The nation is still paying a heavy price for Nehru’s blunders,” said former RSS Sarsanghachalak Shri KS Sudarshan while releasing a book, Hind Swaraj ki Anant Yatra, in New Delhi on November 19. The function was organised by Pragya Sansthan. Written by Shri Ajay Kumar Upadhyaya the book has been published by Prabhat Prakashan. Senior journalist Shri Jawaharlal Kaul and noted Gandhian thinker Dr Ramji Singh were also present on the occasion.
Shri Sudarshan said Pt Nehru was the biggest weakness of Gandhiji and for it he even neglected many senior leaders like Sardar Patel. Not a single Congress president of the then 15 British ruled states had proposed the name of Pt Nehru, but despite that Gandhiji selected Nehru as his successor, which was a blunder on the part of Gandhiji. Shri Sudarshan said the country is paying the price of his blunders even today. What we see in Kashmir today is also due to his blunders. But we have to change this situation, he said.
Dr Ramji Singh described the Hind Swaraj of Gandhiji as the Bhagwat, which guides the whole world. Shri Jawaharlal Kaul said Gandhiji had described the Indian culture as better than the Western culture. Shri Ajay Kumar Upadhyaya highlighted the details of his book. Senior Sangh Pracharaks including Shrikant Joshi, Shri Ashok Prabhakar of Hindu Jagran Manch and Delhi Prant Sewa Pramukh Shri Ajay Kumar were also present at the function.
