why you want to compare? Why. Though nehru did some mistakes but he have his some good points too.
Lets see some good points of Nehru.
The Kashmir accession (1947)
When India was ruled by Britain, there were some states directly under British control, while some were princely states which were allowed to be autonomous till they paid taxes to the British. During partition, the British prepared the Instrument of Accession and gave a choice to these princely states to join the dominion of their choice, either India or Pakistan. Kashmir had a majority Muslim population, ruled by Hari Singh. The British wanted Hari Singh to accede to Pakistan but the Raja wanted to remain independent.
Meanwhile, there were tribal invasions to Kashmir from Pakistan and the Raja decided to sign the Instrument of Accesion in favour India. But Louis Mountbatten, added an additional sentence in the Instrument of Accesion particularly for Kashmir, which now said that people of Kashmir will in future decide whether to choose India, or Pakistan.
By this time, Kashmir was already occupied by Invading tribals. India fought back the tribals and chased the Pathans as far as upto Muzaffarbad. India should have used the legality of Instrument of Accession to fight for Kashmir. Instead, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru prematurely promised the UN that a referendum will be held in which Kashmiris can vote and decide their future. It was one of the major mistake committed in independent India which is still the major bone of contention between India and Pakistan.
The Sino-India war (1962)
In March 1959, The Dalai Lama crossed the McMahon Line into India and was granted political asylum. Indian border police began to establish check posts along the McMahon Line, and moved border patrols forward toward the frontier of Tibet as per Nehru's "Forward policy". This resulted in two clashes in August, 1959.
Several senior Indian Army officers labeled the "forward policy" as militarily unwise, on the grounds that the Indian Army was neither militarily nor logistically prepared to deal with Chinese military strength in the frontiers. Nehru assumed that the Chinese would not stand up against an India backed by both the United States and Russia, ignored the advice of the officers. By the end of 1961, Nehru had sent enough Indian Army troops into Aksai Chin to establish about 43 posts on the Ladakh frontier claimed by China. Chinese combat power was organized around an Army with a strength of approximately 4,500 officers and 38,400 soldiers and had gained extensive experience in both mountain and cold weather warfare due the Korean war.
Nehru continued to ignore the advice of his generals about the army's poor state of readiness; he also continued to assume that China would not or could not assert herself against India. The Cuban missile crisis gave China the perfect time to attack. The serious fighting of the 1962 China-India Border War extended from October 10, 1962, until November 20, 1962. As soon as the Cuban crisis ended at the end of October, Chinese army pulled back as US threatened to use Nuclear weapons on China.
India's casualties for the Border War were finally reported as follows:
Killed: 1,383
Captured: 3,968
Missing: 1,696
The phantom of Aksai
Maharaja Hari Singh had added Aksai Chin to the map on the suggestion of William Johnson. In fact, China built a highway through the middle of that region that India didn't know for years.
China captured 45,000 square kilometers of land—an area that makes up about 20 percent of Kashmir and includes a small area that Pakistan ceded to China—and hasn't resigned it yet. A formal cease-fire line was never established.
Nehru did not try to gain back the captured land despite several heated debates in the Council of Ministers. Nehru is reported to have said in Parliament "
Not a single blade of grass grows there".
Nehru's failed economic policies
His economic policies deeply hampered the nation. His reliance on socialism and prejudices against the capital systems led India on the brink of crisis in 1960s. Inflation was rising and exports shrinking. The wars with China and Pakistan (1965) deepened the problem. Nehru's policies that public sector should be at the "commanding heights of the economy" and that exports are a necessary evil, which should be diminished, were a failure. Public sector did not live upto the expectations and agricultural growth remained constrained.
India's growth rate averaged less than 4 per cent per annum and this was at a time when the developing world, including Sub-Saharan Africa and other least developed countries, showed a growth rate of 5.2 % per annum.
The right to sanction China over Tibet
Nehru was very anxious for friendship with China. To appease the Chinese, he was taking many such measures.
Nehru had turned down the offer of the United States in 1953 which offered India to be a permanent member of the Security Council of UN instead of that Nehru advised to include China in the Security Council. If Nehru had accepted the offer, India would have emerged as extremely strong Nation strategically at the international level several decades ago.
Jawaharlal Nehru's series of generosity towards china did not end just here. Nehru on April 29, 1954 signed an agreement with China as the principle of Panchsheel. With this agreement India accepted Tibet as part of China. Nehru, for the sake of friendship with, without taking Tibet into confidence, approved China's right over Tibet.
Analysts believe that since that very agreement of India geo-political situation in the Himalayas changed forever. Chinese People's Liberation Army in Tibet began the process of expansion, which continues till today. Tibet,The roof of the world, called for protests against China which are still running. The result of China's plans to expand in Tibet, has bolstered China today. Now and then China keeps on violating line of control and even claims Arunachal Pradesh state, as the southern part of Tibet, . Nehru's one mistake has made India pay off heavy losses.
To Mr.Clement Attlee,
Prime Minister of Britain,
10 Downing Street, London.
Dear Mr. Attlee:
I understand from a reliable source that
Subhas Chandra Bose, your war criminal, has been allowed to enter Russian territory by Stalin. This is a clear treachery ad betrayal of faith by the Russians. As Russia has been an ally of the British-Americans, it should not have been done. Please take note of it and do what you consider proper and fit.
Yours sincerely,
Jawaharlal Nehru.
