Дата рождения: 14. Ноябрь 1889

Джавахарла́л Не́ру — индийский государственный и политический деятель. Один из самых видных политических деятелей мира, был лидером левого крыла индийского национально-освободительного движения. Под наставничеством Махатмы Ганди стал председателем Индийского национального конгресса, а в дальнейшем, после обретения страной независимости 15 августа 1947 года, — первым премьер-министром Индии. Оставался на этом посту вплоть до 27 мая 1964 года, когда умер от сердечного приступа. Отец Индиры Ганди и дед Раджива Ганди, которые были третьим и седьмым премьер-министрами Индии соответственно.
Вступив в должность премьер-министра, во внешней политике Неру занял нейтральную позицию, подразумевающую независимость Индии как от западного, так и от восточного блоков. Ввиду этого он вместе с Гамалом Абдель Насером и Иосипом Брозом Тито принял участие в трёхсторонних консультациях, предшествовавших созданию Движения неприсоединения, объединяющего страны с экономикой, значительно отличающейся от либерального капитализма и советского этатизма. Однако впоследствии он признал, что нейтральная позиция по отношению к международному коммунизму, проводящему агрессивную экспансионистскую политику, была малоэффективна. Нападение Китая на Индию заставило его сблизиться со странами НАТО и отказаться от нейтралитета.
Во внутренней политике Неру был активным сторонником дирижизма, признавая при этом частную инициативу как основной функциональный двигатель для гармоничного экономического и социального развития. Wikipedia
Цитаты Джавахарлал Неру
„I want to go rapidly towards my objective. But fundamentally even the results of action do not worry me so much. Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.“
Statement of 1951, in Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru Vol. 5 (1987), p. 321
Контексте: I want to go rapidly towards my objective. But fundamentally even the results of action do not worry me so much. Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction. In my general outlook on life I am a socialist and it is a socialist order that I should like to see established in India and the world.
„We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.“
As quoted in Building A Life Of Value : Timeless Wisdom to Inspire and Empower Us (2005) by Jason A. Merchey, p. 74
„History is almost always written by the victors and conquerors and gives their view.“
— Jawaharlal Nehru, книга The Discovery of India
The Discovery of India (1946)
Контексте: History is almost always written by the victors and conquerors and gives their view. Or, at any rate, the victors' version is given prominence and holds the field. <!-- pp. 287-8.
„Democracy and socialism are means to an end, not the end itself.“
As quoted in World Marxist Review : Problems of Peace and Socialism (1958), p. 40
Контексте: Democracy and socialism are means to an end, not the end itself. We talk of the good of society. Is this something apart from, and transcending, the good of the individuals composing it? If the individual is ignored and sacrificed for what is considered the good of the society, is that the right objective to have?
It was agreed that the individual should not be sacrificed and indeed that real social progress will come only when opportunity is given to the individual to develop, provided "the individual" is not a selected group but comprises the whole community. The touchstone, therefore, should be how far any political or social theory enables the individual to rise above his petty self and thus think in terms of the good of all. The law of life should not be competition or acquisitiveness but cooperation, the good of each contributing to the good of all.
„He must be checked. We want no Caesars.“
Article in Modern Review (1936) by a pseudonymous author signing himself "Chanakya", later revealed to have been Nehru himself; as quoted in TIME magazine : "Clear-Eyed Sister" (3 January 1955) http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,892893,00.html & "The Uncertain Bellwether" (30 July 1956) http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,867026-8,00.html
Контексте: The most effective pose is one in which there seems to be the least of posing, and Jawahar had learned well to act without the paint and powder of an actor … What is behind that mask of his? … what will to power? … He has the power in him to do great good for India or great injury … Men like Jawaharlal, with all their capacity for great and good work, are unsafe in a democracy.
He calls himself a democrat and a socialist, and no doubt he does so in all earnestness, but every psychologist knows that the mind is ultimately slave to the heart … Jawahar has all the makings of a dictator in him — vast popularity, a strong will, ability, hardness, an intolerance for others and a certain contempt for the weak and inefficient … In this revolutionary epoch, Caesarism is always at the door. Is it not possible that Jawahar might fancy himself as a Caesar? … He must be checked. We want no Caesars.
