Being Prime Minister Of India - Jawaharlal Nehru

1 Jawaharlal Nehru
Tenure: - from 15th August 1947 To 27th May, 1964. 16 Years and 264 Days.
Party: - INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS
Family and Political Background: - Jawaharlal Nehru, born on 14th November 1889 in Allahabad (U.P.) was son of Motilal Nehru. Motilal Nehru was an Indian lawyer, an activist of the Indian National Movement and an important leader of the Indian National Congress. Motilal Nehru had served as the Congress President twice, 1919–1920 and 1928–1929. Motilal Nehru was the founder patriarch of the Nehru-Gandhi family
Jawaharlal Nehru was a graduate from Trinity College, Cambridge, England. He was a Barrister when he came back to India. He was connected with Allahabad High Court for his career and he took interest in politics by side of his practice as lawyer. He became the prominent leader of the Indian National Congress.
Circumstances and situation to become PM
Because of his English and command over languages with committed nationalist since his teenage years, he just became a popular figure in Indian politics. In fact Jawaharlal Nehru was one of the few leaders who were demanding for Complete Independence.
Nehru had drafted the Indian declaration of independence before Lahore session of Congress on 29 December 1929, which stated:
"We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. We believe also that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them the people have a further right to alter it or abolish it. The British government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually. We believe therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Purna Swaraj or complete independence."
After Lahore Session, Due to his mentor Gandhiji, he came out with the prominent leader and he gradually emerged as a natural successor of Gandhiji. Because Gandhiji stepped down towards more spiritual role then a political leader.
When India got freedom, there were at-least 3 candidates for Prime Ministership. 1. Jawaharlal Nehru 2. Vallabhbhai Patel, who had also took part and sacrificed into freedom movement equalling to Jawaharlal Nehru.  And 3. Subhashchandra Bose. In spite Subhashchandra Bose has left congress and had taken different way, his Moto was same – Freedom, he was also a better candidate for PM.
But Mentor Gandhiji favoured Jawaharlal for the First Prime Minister of India. Vallabhbhai Patel appointed as the First Deputy Prime Minister and the First Home Minister of India, who played a fantastic role for United India. Subhashchandra Bose has been neglected.
Work Performance:-
Though, Jawaharlal Nehru has become the First Prime Minister due to Gandhiji, he was having qualities and capabilities for Prime Minister. He was one of the best 3. So it is not a question about his qualification. As a first Prime Minister he was having responsibility to build the Nation. Destiny of the Nation was in his hand. As far as work performance is concern he had made absolutely superb. He is a man who has played significant role to make Modern India.  He has put the Nation on right track to move further. What India we are watching, is due to Jawaharlal Nehru. He has made India truly Democratic Country. He should be credited for his Social activities during initial years of Nation. He was also known for the reform of the Hindu Civil Code. It permitted Hindu widow to enjoy equal right with men as far as property and inheritance was concerned.
He has preferred Industry to boost economy and job to people. He is considered to be the architect of the modern Indian nation-state: a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. It would be Injustice to him for saying he has nothing done for the Country. He had played absolutely majestic role in those situations. Most important and most appreciable work he has done is- He has not put India in Bagger condition. He has kept India and Indian pride. He had not put India on shameful position at any stage.
Miss:-
Jawaharlal Nehru has missed two points, which he could have been done easily. First Common Civil Code: - when hard Muslims have left India and morality and mentality of all people was on peak due to freedom, he should have convinced people easily to apply Common Civil Code for New India.

Second he didn’t solve Kashmir Problem and it is now a major headache of the country.
