To appreciate Nehru today, you only have to look around & see the decay of political discourse, the erosion of Constitutional norms & rights, the polarisation of society, the usurping of Institutions & the normalisation of violence.

And, of course, the deification of ignorance, the scorn for knowledge and expertise, the degradation of Universities, and the total lack of skill – and interest – in building institutions of excellence.
