Jinnah the boogie man

Democracy is freedom after speech.
Taking away the boogie man or the dream is a crime, and crime does not go unpunished. Which is what Mr.Jaswant Singh has done, he has laid to rest the Boogie man Jinnah and exposed the another view of Nehru which is very obvious when you read books of the era, particularly ones dealing with Nehru’s family written by his own family.
These opinions have been expressed by a lot of people of the generation that was involved in the freedom struggle. Of course the people who stayed back with the congress refuse to acknowledge this.
It was never Gandhi Vs Jinnah; it was always Nehru vs. rest of the real leaders.
Its not that Nehru did not have his aura, he was perfect poster boy, a WOG who learnt his Indian heritage at Oxford/Cambridge (this is something I never get right) knew his French and wines. He did not come from an established Royal family that made him aam-aadmi most important both Gandhi and the British were enamored by him.
What is surprising is the congress is keeping quite over this while BJP is the one creating the fuss, is it because Jinnah is Muslim while Nehru was a Hindu?
Mr. Singh it is really brave of you to take on such a risk and let the younger generation know the some aspects the Raj ridden India.
After all judgments’ are made only after hearing both sides. And History is always documented by the winner of war, kyon ki battle to abh bhi baaki hai.
