Why did Nehru oppose the construction of the Somnath temple?

PM Nehru disliked Hindu temple architecture. There are hardly any historic Hundu temples left in north India due to sustained barbaric Islamic invasions which lasted nearly 800 years. Most of the surviving Hindu temples are in southern India and many of them are considered as architecture marvel and included in UNESCO heritage sites.

PM Nehru repeated many times his belief that Hindu temple repelled him while Mughal architecture are great and inspire him a lot. PM Nehru strongly opposed reconstruction of Somnath temple and his relation with senior congress leaders like President Dr. Rajendra Prasad and home minister Sardar Patel turned sour as they attended Somnath temple re-construction event.

The same way, UPA government (2004-2014) went out of the way to obstruct Lord Ram temple at Ayodhya and refused to attend its reconstruction. There exists an undeclared protocol in congress party that no leaders should visit there. The DNA of congress since Nehru to RaGa is anti-Hindu with objective to make majority Hindus as second class citizens. People realising this only after 2014 and this is not became of Modi/BJP government but because of rise of social media (librandµs call its Whatsapp University as they don’t like it).

By now, it is very well known that Jawaharlal Nehru, Bharat’s first Prime Minister (PM) harbored a deep hatred for Hindu Dharma.

Will Sonia Gandhi resign from her post in the Congress Party?

 Congress is a dynastic party. Sonia Gandhi was congress parliamentary party chairperson. If she resigns, only two dynastic leaders are there who can be given that post – Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi. Congress has decided to retain Sonia Gandhi for the post. Some ting never change in congress. PV Narasimha Rao tried to democratize this dynastic party but failed. He also paid the price for that.

Don't vote me if I don't clean Yamuna, will Kejriwal honor this commitment? Why don’t we have a gutsy politician like Kejriwal in India?

Delhi CM Kejriwal has been promising the clean the Yamuna since 2015 massive election win. His failure in this regard in in 9 years only gain proved that old political theory – leftist, communist and naxalite leaders are good for nothing. They can fight with others, blame others and give freebies to win election. Just look at Kejriwal’s mentor Mamata Banerjee’s 13 year tenure in Bengal as a basket case of naxalite govt.

Did Jawaharlal Nehru practice anti-Hindu sentiments?

Image
During 1962 general election Nehru went to Kashi (Varanasi) and in a speech he said, ‘a lot of marble is used in temples, just like it is used in bathrooms. People think that the more marble you use, the more beautiful the thing will look. But seeing marble reminds me of bathrooms’. This speech given by Nehru in Kashi hurt the sentiments of Hindus, many people protested. But instead of apologizing, Nehru again reiterated these thoughts in an election rally in Jaipur during this time. He said in Jaipur, ‘the temples that are built today are absolutely worthless. As I had said in Banaras, perhaps people were offended. Here the beauty of temples is considered to be putting a lot of marble stone in them. Marble is a good stone, but marble stone always reminds me of bathrooms’. It is possible that Nehru was expressing concern about the architecture of Hindu temples in his election speech and perhaps he was mentioning the bathroom by giving the example of the same. But the same example can b...
