    The journalist forgot to ask the PM about how he likes to eat his Mangoes!!! That is such an important question for India, guys c'mon!
  • @johnshaji1941
    Now I clearly understand why our present prime minister is jealous on Nehruji
  • @trivediji17
    They can hate on him but can never destroy his legacy ❤‍🔥

    This man is revered in Africa and by Africans to this day. He is and always was a champion, an ally, and friend. We remember him fondly.
  • @dargalombo
    A man who is facing the television for the first time was speaking so eloquently. Great statesman.
  • @ruttvikcreation
    The fact that the Prime Minister of India at that time could easily answer 4 reporters shows his education and intelligence👌
  • Nehru: Ohh 30 min passed just like that OTHER PM on first question:- Bs dosti bani rahe 😅
  • @Rajj854
    After watching this interview I can understand why my parents revered Nehru immensely. Nehru’s simplicity, directness, and clarity are testament to his intellect and strength of character.
  • @amarkose8248
    India had a Prime Minister handling 4 Eminent Western Journalists all alone , dealing matters throughout the world, including UN 🙏🌹
  • This man devoted his life to India. He did so much for India. He died out of guilt of not being able to do enough. And we repay him by degrading and defaming him.
  • @MN-vz4kk
    The real architect of India.❤
  • @chin2gooner851
    After seeing the incumbant PM scared of giving press conferences, it was so soothing to see 1st PM addressing Foreign Journalists.
  • @ankurm4100
    This is the first time I am hearing, and seeing, our first Prime Minister as an Indian.. and, my god! I am so very proud and impressed! I just wish we held up to those ideals now.

    This man created the fountain for our country , He built IIT IIM ISRO AIMS which benefited the all generation 😊
  • @gogol1950
    The best thing about him was his truthfulness and blaming nobody. He was always positive in his approach.
  • Just wow. How calmly he responded. No PR work. Also, in 1953 the priority was making one India.. how far we came!!
  • @VinodKumar-qv8in
    The present Congress should spread such videos to the masses for them to know about Pandit Nehru and his legacy. Salute to the architect of a Democratic Modern India.
  • This man is blamed and hated by Godi medias and whatsapp university graduates . Shame on those people , who don't admit Pandit Nehru's contributions for our India . I can boldly say that , without Pandit Nehru , India is nothing . Whatever achievements or developments India has got till now in every field , after independent just because of Pandit Nehru . India's one of the greatest Prime Minister ever 🇮🇳
