Yesterday I saw a couple of weird TV grabs which took me back to Nehru and Jinnah: both Westernized lawyers, instinctively secular and irreligious, power-hungry inimical politicians who wrote this country's modern history.
Both of them would have shuddered at these pictures; but perhaps compromised for staying in power...I hope I am not too harsh on the Chacha of one nation and the Father of the other...warring and sparring till Eternity...
Nehru's shudder: "A smiling Advani, clad in a saffron headgear, ceremonially unsheathing a sword gifted to him".
Jinnah's shudder: "A slim lady, fully veiled in black but for a creepy slit revealing a couple of hazel eyes, speaking fluently in British English, defending Sharia and the Taliban".
.......But Advani fell in love with Jinnah lately and got into hot waters...
Would Nehru have fallen in love with the 'hazel-eyes' and got into cold waters?
