We got our independence in 1947 and just after a short period of 15 years (winters of 1962) Prime Minister Nehru made a public address on All India Radio in which he stated "Freedom is in peril. Defend it with all your might." It was during China war.
So if we think about it in a dispassionate manner, what kind of governance did Nehru provide to the nation that our freedom was in danger in just 15 years, all over again?
Can there be any bigger crime by the person who is sitting at the helm of affairs of government, to let his country come close to enslavement? Judging him by this alone, Nehru should be judged as the worst PM of India so far.
Add to this his inept and disastrous handling of Tibet and Kashmir, Nehru further cements his position in this ignominious position.
Will our school books teach us the truth?

The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor Humiliation
The recent participation of USA and Russia in Sino-Pak's corridor being built on land that belongs to India in POK, should open eyes of all Indians - there is no such thing as true friendship between nations in this world. Had Russia or USA been true friends of India, they would have raised objection to the corridor. They didn't because they know India can only talk, it cannot assert it's rights militarily or economically against the mighty China.
EVEN IF INDIA IS UPSET WITH US, WHAT CAN IT DO? This is the thinking of all nations, including so called friendly ones.
This brings home the point once again: when push comes to shove, Only Militarily Powerful Are Respected In This World. To be militarily powerful, you have to be an economic powerhouse first. But can India really become an economic powerhouse that can sustain continuous investment that is needed for becoming and remaining a militarily powerful country? All this and still remain a democracy?
Yes it can, but it is difficult.
If we look at democratic countries who are powerful too, we will notice they have low level of corruption in their day to day life. In these countries they do not have to bribe officials for registering their house. These countries do not indulge in quota system to get votes. Meritocracy rules these countries as per their laws. In India meritocracy comes after quotacracy, which itself is a form of government sponsored corruption. Yes, when deserving people are deprived in favour of less deserving people by law, the system is inherently corrupt.
Unless we become a corruption free government and society, we can forget about becoming an economic superpower and consequently military powerhouse. With current value system in our country, we should be ready to face even more such humiliations.
