The country which was ridden by casteism, superstitions and religious dogmas has celebrated its 60 years of independence as the world’s largest democracy remains an object of spectacular display in the eye of world community. The country which was industrially backward has remarkably achieved the status of industrially advanced country and has crossed the scale to become one of the world’s advanced countries. It was due to Jawaharlal Nehru, a socialist statesman dreamt of a socialistic pattern of Indian society who had created a vast public infrastructure when he became the first Prime Minister of India. His visions in today’s India are as relevant as it was during his own tenure of political establishment. He said, it is “To bring freedom and opportunity to the common man, to the peasants and workers of India; to fight and end poverty and ignorance and disease; to build up a prosperous, democratic and progressive nation, and to create social, economic and political institutions which will ensure justice and fullness of life to every man and woman.” He was a pioneering articulator of Asian resurgence and was an unusually idealistic advocate of conscience in international politics. India’s parliamentary democracy, free judiciary and media, the apolitical civil servants and armed forces, the commitment to secularism, social justice and equality before law, all originated in the blue print for free India which he worked out. According to him the political democracy serves only as a means to economic democracy. Without economic democracy a political system is bound to crack down.
