Sita Ram Goel:
“Pandit Nehru was by no means a unique character. Nor is Nehruism a unique phenomenon for that matter. Such weak-minded persons and such subservient thought processes have been seen in all societies that have suffered the misfortune of being conquered… (1/n)
…and subjected to alien rule for some time. There are always people in all societies who confuse the superiority of armed might with the superiority of culture, who start despising themselves as belonging to an inferior breed & end by taking to the ways of the conqueror… (2/n)
…in order to regain self-confidence, who begin finding faults with everything they have inherited from their forefathers, and who finally join hands with every force and factor which is out to subvert their ancestral society. (3/n)
Viewed in this perspective, Pandit Nehru was no more than a self-alienated Hindu, and Nehruism is not much more than Hindubaiting born out of and sustained by a deep-seated sense of inferiority vis-à-vis Islam, Christianity, and the modern West.” (4/n)
