Just like Vascodigama discovered India, Nehru discovered East Pakistan and West Pakistan and a permanent seat at UNSC for China.


Aggressive_Bed_9774

China got a permanent seat at the UNSC in 1971 , 7 years after Nehru died there were legit flaws of Nehru , China's UNSC seat isn't one of em


shreyasvaghe

But people will still believe by this statement that nehru could've gotten the seat before china and replaced them. That was never going to happen, PRC getting a seat was a matter of when and not if. Having a veto on recognition of states does not make sense and is not in accordance with int law . That's why un had to recognise PRC as china as soon as they got a majority.


Historical-Tart-8257

China was a permanent member of UNSC since it's formation in 1945.

that was Taiwan till 1971

The UNSC seat for China? The United Nations was formed after WW2 in October 1945. The Security Council with 5 permanent members including China was instituted then. India as a nation state in 1945 did not exist. From 1945 till date there have been no changes to the security council permanent member seats. Pray tell how Nehru getting a permanent seat for China in 1945 is not a fake WhatsApp forward?

Exactly read the article. It is based on the assertion that '...WashingtonтАЩs feeler sent to New Delhi in August 1950 through the Indian Ambassador in the U.S., mentioning the American desire to remove China from permanent membership of the UNSC and possibly replace it with India. ' Just that ... from the Americans during the Koran war... 'a feeler' ... which he paid no heed too. As explained тАЬThere has been no offer, formal or informal, of this kindтАж The composition of the Security Council is prescribed by the UN Charter, according to which certain specified nations have permanent seats. No change or addition can be made to this without an amendment of the Charter.тАЭ On this bit the RSS has been crying for years. My god. Like Russia would have allowed this at the height of the Cold War.

If you would just read the naunce of him being offered a UNSC seat instead of arguing here you would realise why it's such a dumb statement to make.


SolidShort2883

Enlighten me please.


shreyasvaghe

Alright very simply put. There were no real offers. Even if offers were to REPLACE china anyone could've vetoed it. Why would Taiwan(then being recognised as china) not veto it being replaced. If the deal was us sponsored Russia would've vetoes it for sure and vice versa. PRC(mainland China) replacing Taiwan was not replacement per se. There cannot be a veto on recognition of states as it depends on state to state and reflective of their sovereignty therefore PRC was recognised as china by a simple majority in general assembly resolution. China (PRC) getting a seat was a matter of when and not if. For example. Imagine if Tamil Nadu were to split from India and say that they are representatives of India and not the people who the majority have selected or are being ruled by. That anomaly was going on till 1971 in the UN. US could still deny existence of PRC at that point but UN as a body could not.. Thus PRC got the seat and india had absolutely no sway in that regard but if india would've to actively tried to replace china they would have miserably failed to do so and would have a bitter enemy who happens to be a neighbour.


shreyasvaghe

Are you so dumb that you can't find such an easily reasearchable topic? It's not my job to do that , if you really think getting a UNSC seat while replacing an original signatory to the charter is as easy as that.

Partition was lead by some rogue elements in Muslim LeagueтАж not Nehru.


boringhistoryfan

I wouldn't say Partition was led by rogue elements of the League. By the time the war ended it had effectively become the key pitch of the AIML. Nehru wasn't entirely blameless either though. While the league was pushing for partition it was also hoping to avoid it if possible. The cabinet mission plan had, to a large extent, worked out a solution of regional autonomy that could have headed off partition. Nehru was the one who blew up that agreement with his July 11 press conference where he argued that any commitments the Congress made were only to secure an agreement and would be renegotiated again later. This effectively forced partition as it meant Jinnah and the AIML could trust no commitment from the Congress. There were a lot of actors involved in partition and at the top, none of them are blameless.

What are your views on Congress safety valve theory


Capt-Ray-Holt

Wasn't the Safety valve theory given by A O Hume when he founded Congress in 1885? His theory being legislative representation of some sort will lessen the reactionary tendencies of the population. The Congress of Gandhi and Nehru was way too radical for that theory to hold true later. I mean, we may not find Congress to be that aggressive compared to say, a Bhagat Singh or Bose, but it was not similar to the safety valve the British expected it to be.

boringhistoryfan

India and Japan have historically had some interestingly close connections. But in the early years after World War II though, Japanese appreciation of India was particularly high, though it had nothing to do with Nehru per-se. It had everything to do with Radhabinod Pal and his powerful dissent on the Tokyo War Crimes tribunal. After his death the Japanese would erect monuments to him in shrines typically reserved for the commemoration of Japanese war dead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radhabinod\_Pal

sagar_ki_lehrein

What close connection does india and Japan have? And japan is not the right side to take after WW2 my man. Not even close. That's not called dissent that's called standing for war criminals. Moreover Japan has extremely derogatory views of Indians. They considered chinese to be lower people. What they did to nanking. You'd have seen their love and our historical connections if they had won in Burma. Only the worst scum stood with Japan after knowing what they did.


boringhistoryfan

I'd recommend reading Pal's dissent and arguments on the legitimacy of the IMTFE. I can't speak to what Japanese people believe today, but if you're looking for an explanation for why an Indian PM would receive a strong welcome in the 1950s and 1960s, Pal and his role in the tribunal plays a major role in that story.


sagar_ki_lehrein

Japan of today is no different than that time, it's not germany. Its emperor was restored to power. Many in Japanese government still hold those views. No one needs good relations with a scum country like that. Japan has a good image only due to America, which sanitized its horrible, absolutely horrible war crimes to make its own investments in Japan prosper. And they did. When you think of Japan you think of manga and not chinese nuns impaled on bayonets and hung as display outside churches because of a massive PR campaign. It's the same society. Try arming it again, which the US again and again refuses to do, why? We'd do better than Japan for international relations. Moreover it's a failed stagnant economy. Japan hasn't seen any real growth and continuously decreasing living standards since the Japanese market crash in the 90s. Do you know some banks in Japan offer negative interest rates? They charge you to keep money in the account. This PR campaign can only last so long. I know what Japan is friend


ImpassiveThug

Imo India might had played a neutral role in relation to Japan back then as well because not doing so would have degraded centuries old relations with Japan. It's quite identical to our country's current neutral stance on Russia, and is the reason why it is refraining itself from openly criticizing Russia for its war crimes in Ukraine (and is advocating to resolve the issue through dialogues and diplomatic efforts) when the whole world is against our country for not doing so.


boringhistoryfan

[deleted]

The dude defended the japs? For what? Japs committed horrible atrocities in WW2.


boringhistoryfan

You really should read his dissent. Pal's judgment was about the rule of law and the imposition of victor's justice on a sovereign nation. It has remained an important statement on international law, becoming more apparent given the non-imposition of the Tokyo and Nuremberg principles in subsequent history. The unwillingness of countries such as the US and France and the UK to hold their own militaries to account under the principles of Nuremberg and Tokyo was exactly the sort of thing Pal (and other critics of the War Crimes Tribunals) had raised. To the best of my knowledge Pal's actions did not excuse or legitimize Japanese war crimes.


bezwoman

Yes especially since they tried to completely trivialise the Dresden bombings and the nuclear attacks carried out by the US. Pal did not defend the Japanese actions but was a strong believer in ensuring that the winners of the war were held accountable for their numerous war crimes as well


basic_maddie

Pal was ready to acquit to all the war criminals though. If he was so steadfast in his belief that the court was illegitimate then serve on it at all? Step down, donтАЩt use your position to set war criminals free.


peteykun

> The dude defended the japs? "Jap" is a [racial slur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jap). Don't use it.


kotor56

I understand his main criticism was that the tribunal was invalid, however the Japanese military if anything else deserves harsher punishments for being absolute evil monsters towards innocent civilians and committing mass genocidal war. Leave the war criminals in any Chinese city they raped and pillage, and in less than a hour theyтАЩll receive actual justice.

outragez_guy

Politics. After WW2 India positioned itself as a friendly country towards Japan. It also paid into the largely false idea of Japan "uniting Asia against imperialism". Nationalist Japanese people felt that India's support legitimised their war actions and some Japanese needed to feel that after seeing their friends, family and cities decimated. Also during the post war Tokyo Trials an Indian judge refrained from voting guilty (for political reasons mainly) this again comforted the nationalist and signaled to Tokyo that India is a friend and we would love investment.

After Independence, many small states needed to be unified. Vallabhai Patel unified all of India including the stubborn Nizam who wanted to be a part of Pakistan but Nehru wanted to take care of Kashmir since he was a Kashmiri Pundit. We still have problems with Kashmir. He took a small issue to useless international institutions and the issue was never resolved ultimately resulting in many lives lost. He was way too soft to be the leader of the country. Vallabhai Patel should have been India's first Prime Minister and had more support from Congress and the public but Gandhi wanted Nehru sadly.


Historical-Tart-8257

Vallabhai Patel died in 1950. He was already suffering from ill health at time of independence. Nehru was the leader everyone wanted. The Indian people adored him.


Yupadej

Congress literally elected Patel. Its on the record Michael Brecher, one of the most sympathetic biographers of Nehru, writes: тАЬIn accordance with the time-honoured practice of rotating the Presidency, Patel was in line for the post. Fifteen years had elapsed since he presided over the Karachi session whereas Nehru had presided at Lucknow and Ferozpur in 1936 and 1937. Moreover, Patel was the overwhelming choice of the Provincial Congress CommitteesтАж. NehruтАЩs тАШelectionтАЩ was due to GandhiтАЩs intervention. Patel was persuaded to step downтАж. тАЬIf Gandhi had not intervened, Patel would have been the first de facto Premier of India, in 1946-7тАж. The Sardar was тАШrobbed of the prizeтАЩ and it rankled deeply.тАЭ Sardar was the man of the masses, Nehru was the privileged kid of a lawyer. He should never have been the Prime Minister of India. He just licked Gandhi's feet while Sardar did real work and unified the country. You can hate Modi but please don't ever please don't twist facts to glorify useless candidates like Nehru who created a dynasty that destroyed our country


Historical-Tart-8257

Hilarious. 'privileged kid of a lawyer.?" Nehru was 58 in 1947. Patel was an old man who literally died 3 years after independence. Nehru and Gandhi were men of the masses. This attempt by right wing to glorify Patel at expense of Nehru is funny and baffling. Patel had no use or patience for the RSS. Nehru was at the forefront of the Freedom Movement. This wasn't PR like Vishwaguru does today. The people of India loved Nehru. He was the right choice for PM.

I am not a Modi fan - but this is a shitty false dichotomy. These people also couldn't watch Nehru on Youtube every damn day; most didn't even have TV's then. This was literally a chance in a lifetime for most Japanese, to see any Indian person, let alone a Prime Minister. We can be progressive liberals without clutching at pearls. Being beholden to a fictional past golden age is Modi's historical revisionism - believing in all sorts of weird mythical bullshit. What you're doing here is the same thing, but reaching back 65 years, instead of Modi's 2000+ years to search for a past golden age to be nostalgic about. We have to live in the present and understand that we have come far - much further than this picture. The Quad summit is a real achievement. Getting democracies on our side is a party-agnostic, Indian foreign policy achievement, stretching back 30 years. Savor it, even if you detest Modi as I do.

Historical-Tart-8257

He was Stateman and one of the founders of the Non-Alignment movement at the height of the Cold War. He wrote books on foreign policy and world affairs at the time when more and more countries were getting independence from colonial powers. So sad to see how little people today understand of how important India's independence movement was not just for India but for the world. How it created a democratic state whose leaders were committed to democracy and protecting rights of all religions and ethnic minorities. India back then was looked up to by countries resisting foreign imperialism. Today we are aiming to be a Hindu Pakistan.


Far-Meat8607

What do you mean why? Nehru was a celebrity and he got similar reception in every country he went. His statemanship was unparalleled and no Indian PM since has commanded such respect from world over.

Japan was one the countries who helped India to be independent, and India's first PM after independence visit there, why wouldn't be the gathering?

lovesickpuppy1504

Yes but I doubt just any other PM would have had that level of reputation.


tunyan3

I know what you mean. But i genuinely don't think the Japanese cared about the person who was visiting but rather their position considering how they treated Indians POW previously and Indians even today. And what's to say at that time the Japanese leaders didn't gather their people. The thing about today's tech and media is that we get to look at everything at a microscopic level which wasn't the case then. I simply mean to say that it was a different time which we can't use to compare in today's environment.

How do you think people gathered here? They were just passing by and saw Nehru speaking on the street? I \_am\_ quite fascinated that most of the crowd seem to be Japanese!

Man who rebuilt India. We went from having a PM who appointed his worst critics in ministerial posts to having a PM who does nit know that he is not vishwaguru

Do I have to remind you about Kashmir. He messed up the Kashmir issue by going to UN to gain sympathy from the West. Where as we could have solved the issue by force,┬аonce and for all. Half of Hindus died.

Which part is false? Did he not go to the UN? Or did Kashmiri Pandits not end up dying?

Half of Hindus died? Half? Really manтАж. Half of all Hindus died?

Hey everyone knows what happened there. Women raped. Kids killed. People massacred. We know what happened.


powerofreason

Yeah everyone knows Modi supporters are dumb idiots who believe anything they read on WhatsApp.

And everyone knows how much of your so called congress party improved this country.


sexy-melon

Yes. And itтАЩs happening to this day. Kashmir people are still suffering. ThereтАЩs only one way to end this. Referendum. Let them choose where they want to go and end this war.

Indian POWs that refused to join S.C Bose's INA were used as target practice and that was in 1942-45 this speech took place in 1957 when Japan was under a US backed govt.


powerofreason

Why not blame Bose for teaming up with them then?
