Yes, comparing Modi era with Nehru’s is right. Not to do so would be injustice to millions who suffered because of Nehru.

For example, Hindu Bengali refugees. Their children, grandchildren must never forget that their people were abandoned and thrown to the wolves by Jawaharlal Nehru before, during and after Partition.

Nehru despised dark-skinned Hindu Bengali refugees, among them my father, his siblings, their widowed mother and grandmother, fleeing rapacious and murderous Muslim League mobs in East Bengal; he did not want them to seek shelter in India.

Nehru wrote to CM BC Roy, instructing him not to let Hindu Bengali refugees enter West Bengal. Push them back from the border, Nehru said, don’t let them in.

Nehru insisted Hindu Bengalis of East Bengal / East Pakistan were coming to India for free-loading at the expense of Indians. He cut back Central funds for West Bengal to stop the meagre refugee assistance by way of a couple of kilos of inedible worm-infested rotten rice for Hindu Bengalis.

Hindu Bengali refugee women and children separated from their families, or widowed and orphaned in the Noakhali genocide and subsequent Partition Massacre of Hindus, rummaged in garbage bins and pitifully begged for morsels of food.

Hindu Bengali refugee children in rags with dark large sad eyes greedily licked on used banana leaves dumped on the streets by eateries, also known as ‘pice hotels’ in Kolkata parlance, of which there was a profusion in the post-War years. Emaciated babies and rickety children of Hindu Bengali refugees huddled with stray dogs on pavements.

Many Hindu Bengali refugees lived on ‘rice water’ or ‘fan’ (the starchy water that is thrown away after boiling rice) collected from homes of compassionate Bengalis who had little food to share.

In the morning and evening there were pheriwallahs hawking their wares; in the afternoon there were Hindu Bengali refugee women in tattered sarees that barely covered their bodies and naked children with battered and bruised aluminium pots going from house to house, begging for ‘rice water’: “Ma, fan daao Ma…”

Those voices of has hunger were to haunt Hindu Bengali refugees like my parents for long, often till death.

Driven by hate for Hindu Bengali refugees, Nehru ordered horrifyingly, nauseatingly squalid and disease-ridden refugee camps to be named ‘Permanent Liability Camps’ or PLCs — PLC 1, PLC 2… — reminiscent of the ‘Permanent Solution Camps’ of the Nazis.

When despite his best efforts Nehru failed to push back the Hindu Bengali refugees to be slaughtered in East Bengal/East Pakistan, Nehru brought his devastating Freight Equalisation Policy which collapsed industry in West Bengal. Tens of thousands of jobs were destroyed and the Hindu Bengali was rendered jobless: Those who lost their jobs and businesses began turning on Hindu Bengali refugees just as Nehru had hoped.

Yet Nehru could not break the spirit of the Hindu Bengali refugees who were grateful to Bharat and determined to help rebuild this great nation savaged by invaders and colonisers especially John Company.

Through generations we Hindu Bengali refugees toiled, we built, we paid taxes, we sacrificed for the Nation, our Nation, we succeeded in establishing ourselves as dutiful, law-abiding, loyal citizens of India. Having lost our home and hearth, we had no other home but India.

We Hindu Bengali refugees were hived off to malaria-infested inhospitable Dandakaranya and we cleared forests and made the soil fertile. We were packed off to Andaman and we rebuilt our lives there. When we tried to set up home at Marichjhapi we were slaughtered: the estuaries turned red with our blood.

We grieved, we got up, we overcame that setback.

We lived with dignity and honour, we earned our food, we were not freeloaders. We were poor but we were honest: we had integrity.

Cut to 2026.

So who have proved to be India’s ‘Permanent Liability’ cadging off the state and living on unearned money? Nehru Dynasty.

Excavations at Purana Qila, conducted during 2013-14, 2017-18, and 2022–23, revealed a continuous cultural sequence spanning nearly 2,500 years, making it the only known ancient site in Delhi .

The excavations brought to light evidence from the pre-Mauryan period onwards, followed by the Mauryan, Sunga, Saka-Kushana, Gupta, Post-Gupta, Rajput, Sultanate, and Mughal periods.

Among the significant discoveries were a Mauryan-period ring well, a Kushana-period house complex, Gupta-period seals and sealings, a Rajput-period Vaikuntha Vishnu image, an intricately carved miniature image of Ganesha in soapstone, a circular terracotta plaque depicting Gaja Lakshmi, coins from different periods, and a Kushana-period gold foil.

Painted Grey Ware pottery, including an almost complete bowl, was also recovered from a stratified context, providing important archaeological evidence associated with the site's earliest phases of occupation.

The excavations further uncovered a ring well with terracotta rings, post holes likely associated with a water-drawing mechanism, and a terracotta-lined drain, offering valuable insights into the settlement's water management system.

[Modi Story @themodistory]

Former Nagaland Chief Minister S. C. Jamir, who in his early days served as Parliamentary Secretary to Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, offers a unique perspective as Narendra Modi completes 4399 days in office, becoming the longest-serving Prime Minister of India in continuous elected tenure.

Jamir draws an interesting distinction between the two leaders. "Panditji was a philosopher. Modi ji is a practical man. That's the difference," he says.

Jamir points out that PM Modi's approach is marked by him getting involved personally in issues. “Nehru largely worked through officers and institutions, whereas Modi engages directly,” he says. “If you raise an issue with him, he addresses it personally without intermediaries.” This direct approach gives Modi firsthand knowledge of challenges across the country, including in the North East, whereas many concerns during Nehru’s time often did not reach the Prime Minister through layers of administration, says Jamir.

“In those days, we were heavily influenced by British etiquette and administrative culture. Today we have our Indian model, making Prime Minister Modi far more accessible. Modi ji speaks openly and expresses freely, unlike many of his predecessors,” says Jamir.

He also points to the shift in India's economic philosophy. “The Nehru government followed a Russian model of planned economy. Everything was controlled through licences. Therefore we could not develop like we are doing now under PM Modi,” he says. Jamir acknowledges that under PM Modi's leadership, this shift in economic policy is helping India emerge as one of the world's fastest growing major economies.

S.C. Jamir adds, "The Northeast was neglected for far too long. When Modi ji took office, he gave unprecedented attention to this underdeveloped region. The scale of funding and development support we receive today is something we could hardly have imagined earlier. When I was Chief Minister, budgets often ran into just 10-20 crores. But today the investments are on an entirely different scale."

"One of the most significant achievements for Prime Minister Modi's leadership has been the progress in the Naga peace process. For the first time, Naga underground groups agreed to sign two landmark political agreements," says Jamir.

@authoramish @NBDwrites I agree. If these invaders never had resistance, we would have been finished like Persia and other major cultures. But we thrived. The Mughals too could sustain after they collaborated with local people. Barring Aurangzeb, most adopted Indian culture.

If showing cleavage makes you attractive and confident, then maybe having in-demand skills, good grades, a valuable degree, and communication superiority will make you underconfident. 😂

@IndiaToday @KirtiAzaad @PreetiChoudhry As if he was a freedom fighter. How long do they want to fool Indians that they should remain in power because Congress once participated in the freedom movement, however not one was ever convicted? He is a frustrated and stupid person, a failed cricketer and a failed politician.

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

If a senior lawyer-MP is so “ashamed” of living in India today, he should register that shame properly.

Resign from the Rajya Sabha.

Because shame cannot be selective.

Where was this 'national shame' in 2021, when Bengal saw brutal post-poll violence, when people were chased, killed, assaulted, displaced, and women were raped?

Where was this 'shame' when a BJP supporter was chased and killed in front of his own mother?

Where was the 'shame' when the Sandeskhali rape case happened?

Where was the 'shame' when the RG Kar rape case happened?

Where was this 'shame' when you appeared in Calcutta High Court to oppose these victims and resisted CBI transfer of the case?

Where was this constitutional anguish when the Calcutta High Court had to order a CBI probe into murder, rape and crimes against women because victims were crying for justice?

But of course an egg attack on a TMC leader suddenly shakes the soul of democracy.

But the blood, tears and terror of ordinary Bengal victims from 2021 did not produce the same moral thunder.

If you are ashamed of India, resign from the parliament.

If not, spare us the theatre.

@BanCheneProduct @Sanjay_Dixit Waah! Such a story not only inspires me but fills me with a sense of belief that humanity has always existed, only that we see too many negatives.

[Ministry of Culture @MinOfCultureGoI]

This 4,500-year-old terracotta dice from the Indus-Saraswati Civilization is a powerful reminder of India’s living heritage. Dicing is also mentioned as a popular game in Rig and Atharva Vedas (two of the four sacred Vedic scriptures).

From symbols and craftsmanship to rituals, yogic practices, and collective memory, numerous elements of ancient Indian civilization continue to thrive in the daily social and religious life of Indian society across regions and communities.

Civilizational inheritance is not just about geography or ruins, it is defined by living customs, symbols, rituals, and unbroken cultural consciousness. India is the enduring living continuity of the Indus-Saraswati Civilization.
