From the British Colonial Raj to Congress Raj, the blatant snubbing of Hindu rights continued in both pre- and post-independent India. This blatant disdain for Hindus was reflected in the conduct of Jawaharlal Nehru, who was outspokenly against the reconstruction of the Somnath Temple.

Nehru’s The Discovery of India entrenched a Marxist-secular narrative that downplayed Hindu civilisational ethos while recasting Islamic incursions as culturally transformative, shaping India’s post-independence intellectual orthodoxy.

From Nehru’s intelligence blind spots to Tashkent and the release of 93,000 Pakistani POWs, Congress has a long history of squandering India’s hard-won strategic leverage, and has no moral standing to accuse others of “selling” the nation.

PM Nehru wrote a series of letters between 1950 and 1951, wherein he expressed opposition to the reconstruction and consecration of the Somnath Temple. Nehru wrote around 17 letters to various officials, including Cabinet ministers, chief ministers, the President, the Vice President, and even to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, making his deep disdain for the Hindu community’s quest for reclamation of its destroyed temples known.

Many of the Muslim leaders in British-ruled India, who labelled Vande Mataram as some sort of ‘anti-Muslim’ or ‘Hindu nationalist’ song, ended up being the proponents of the separatist agenda that culminated in the creation of Pakistan. These Islamists not only derided Vande Mataram as idolatrous and anti-Muslim but also argued that the deification of the motherland amounts to ‘shirk’.

In a scathing attack against Rahul Gandhi and Congress, PM Modi advised opposition MPs to read 'JFK's Forgotten Crises' as a primer to Nehru's bungling of foreign policy.

By the memoir of NN Mukherjee, is it evident that the Congress government back then whether the Jawaharlal Nehru government at the center or the Pant-led state government in Uttar Pradesh did everything in their power to suppress evidence of the stampede by burning the mortal remains of the victims.

Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India was of the view that anti-Brahmin ‘activists’ such as Periyar should be placed in a mental asylum, meant for the treatment of ‘perverted minds.’

Amit Shah asserted on Tuesday that China's ambitions to seize Indian territory under PM Modi's leadership are futile.

"Forest Rights Act, Prevention of Atrocities Act etc were not applicable in J&K. We granted those rights to the Dalit communities by removing Article 370", PM Modi stated.
