no light Shah
Some discussion about how Grace at one stage took 'Nakho Vakhare' approach towards Sardar Parat and Sangh Parivar at one stage took 'Chadhavo Chhapre' approach has naturally been discussed here in the fortnight from Sardar Jayanti to Nehru Jayanti. The country has also seen an excessive streak of Nehru Mahima Mandan. The question is to see them in the whole picture without dividing them into camps and without partisanship to be used as a political weapon in Samsa. In the immediate post-Swaraj years, when Jawaharlal turned sixty in 1949, Vallabhbhai Chummotheram, 14 years his junior, outlined his relationship and bond: 'Jawaharlal and I have been Congress comrades for decades. We are devoted followers of the same Supreme Guru (Gandhi) and fellow soldiers of the freedom struggle. Today we are also carrying the burden of administration and organization of this vast country.' 'Because of knowing each other closely in various functions, we have naturally developed a mutual affection and with the passing of years mutual affection has increased. Many find it very difficult to understand how we miss each other when we are not together, when mutual consultation is not possible. This is our intimate introduction. Given this closeness, this affection between the two brothers, it is difficult for me to utter words of disdain for Jawaharlal in public. But perhaps it is not necessary to add anything about the deity of the country, the leader of the people, the Veeranayak who resides in the hearts of the people – whose noble deeds and great achievements are like an open book before us.' Vallabhbhai has mentioned Jawaharlal's Sathma and his chummoteram that he is a follower of the same Supreme Guru and that he has affection like two brothers. There is a constellation of leadership in the sky of Swaraj Sangram. But in it these three, this swaraj tripty are in a central role. There are three patriots, but Gandhi is on the globe, there is another international dimension to Nehru's self-politics. Sardar actually likes the beauty of this bay. There are differences, differences of opinion between the three which they have not hidden either from each other or from the public. This trio is connected by the same heart bond as Anera Bhavabandha. Gandhi born in 1869, Vallabh born 6 years later in 1875, and Jawahar born 30 years after Gandhi and 14 years after Vallabh in 1889, can you imagine a father-son relationship between them? Yes, but partly Sardar has talked about the affection like two brothers, but like elder and younger brother, Gandhi loves Vallabh. Jawahar is literally Gandhi's son, and in a traditional joint family, Gandhi-Vallabh are like elder and younger brothers. In 1928 Vallabhbhai emerged as 'Sardar' along with Bardoli. Just as Sardar of Trepan has begun to attract attention in the country, Agamach Jawahar, who is over forty, has begun to emerge as a favorite idol among the youth of the country. Jawahar and Subhash are the two personalities that attract the youth. In the same months, Bhagat Singh hailed the two, and singled out Jawahar as a close ideological choice. Bhagat Singh feels that Adarsh's youth is in the Tarwarat-Thanganat bay, Hanhanati is the Assamese bay of patriotism, but Subhash Nakara is more sentimental and Jawahar's socio-economic ideology is bound. Gandhi, as he thinks of 'Generation Next', suggests the name of Putravat Jawahar for the presidency; Because there is an unspoken expectation that the chieftain will take care of his 'son' with him and on his behalf. Vallabhbhai, who is fifty-three, is not 'generation next' in the sense that he is a gem who has barely reached forty. After reading the biography of Vallabhbhai, who is still an icon of Rajmohan Gandhi, and in the light of Madhu Limay's discussion of the years of Swaraj struggle, I have come to this issue of 'Generation Next'. Vallabhbhai may have felt a strong sense of injustice, not as a Prime Minister, but if he is the leader of the country, he is also Gandhi's soldier, so the balance in the Swaraj Sankranti is prudently prevailed. Kisan Luhat or Riasati Morcho may be right, but as per Gandhi's advice Jawaharlal and he formed the first cabinet together, it was not a Congress party. Ambedkar, Mukherjee, Shanmukhak Chetty, Bhabha who was not in politics, others who were on the opposite side of the Congress: Do you understand the glory of the Nehru-Patel duo? The last year of Patel's life is marked by the challenge of Hindu exodus from East Bengal as a backlog of Partition. Mukherjee has left the cabinet. The thought of what happened to Shantipriya Bapu will happen to Jawahar, the Sardar sleeps overnight. Bhangli reaches Sardar Pandey in good health to take West Bengal into confidence on the basis of the formation of minority commissions on both sides of the border. Swarajtriputi, when will the country clear your debt?
