What really matters on this day - perhaps more than ever felt before is - that thanks to this extremely educated man of high intellect, we have a democracy that , irrespective of all fears, is almost impossible to convert into a dictatorship. We have a country where despite efforts to polarize, the secular foundation thrives and will prevail. We have an economy which thanks to the initial focus on National Economic Planning (despite the often faulty implementation), has a solid foundation. We have institutions that work, Universities that create intellectuals, a Judiciary that still functions and Media that still has some people with spine. We took it all for granted. But today we realise what an unbreakable democracy this man created - a democracy, which keeps all our hopes alive each time we see injustice around us. What a man to be called the first PM of India - with pride! Happy Diwali!! #nehru #JawaharlalNehru #happydiwali2020 #HappyDiwali 2.5K 2.5K 207 comments 113 shares Like

He said "Arindam there is a German word called SCHADENFREUDE, meaning pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune.

Enjoying Arnab's misfortune. Ideologically anyone may differ with him. He might have been wrong in Sushant Singh Rajput case to demand the arrest of Rhea. But that necessarily doesn't mean he can be put behind bars in a case of abetment of suicide. The
