    There is no doubt about it..., every educated Hindustani's within & outside the country must remember but for Nehru, we wouldn't have conquered with our intellectual capabilities. The Jokara clan wanted to keep edudcation with upper class.. However, b'coz of Pandit Nehruji's social equality approach... in todays world a Lower Cast Doctor could make a C- Section deliveries of upper class female.., Jai Ho Nehruji...., after all education & intelligence matters more than driving by looking at the back mirror..,
