What if someone shares hateful posts against you on your birthday. Or, LOL, someone abuses Modi on his birthday.

 

There are better days for all this. But then, it's coming from a fan of a person who shamelessy does it all year.

But don’t you think Bal divas is far fetched. Others have mere Jayanthi, but chacha gets a narrative of children loving uncle.

Far from it. I am not even a Nehru hater. But I am happy with corrections that are happening. 
 

This is pretty much North Korea esque myth and narrative building which we all grew up in. Time to tear it down.

He is our first PM of independent India & commands respect. 

At least his day is not celebrated as some sort of Nehru Jayanti or something.  Children day seems apt...  Nothing personal.

Fact is it is well know that Nehru is socialistic and hated that businesses exploited the common people , which is in sync with the time they lived in. Most movies showed marwaris as some sort of evil and selfish beings who only care for themselves. Today whole India is morphed into same mentality, but back then such views are not something to be judged by todays logic. One may question Nehru's policies , but picking childrens day for that is definitely unwanted and hateful...

That socialism thing is well known, however what was the origin of children's day ? Did some major policy launch happen by the govt under Nehru, maybe education, vaccination or child nutrition oriented ?

 

It doesn't sound appealing, hey he likes kids so lets call his b'day as children's day.

November 20 is World Children day but India is vishwaguru...  It's unique we have a different children day than rest of the world. 

As Shoaib Akhtar would say we are different breed apna style alag hai bhai:pepsi:

^^ I don't have a recollection of Nehru worship in my school thankfully. Teachers actually did some play etc. 

 

I'm sure NaMo's b'day will also be marked in some way on an annual basis.

 

We had to write essays in a competition, just like this article

Quote

Instead we sometimes had to write an essay on some lofty nation-building topic. I would have liked Children’s Day to be a day where I could do as I pleased. Instead it was all about essays, sit-and-draw competitions, and skits that required rehearsals. It did not make me feel kindly about ‘Chacha Nehru’.

PR exercise

It galls me further to realise now that Chacha Nehru was probably a PR creation. It is true that he did establish the Children’s Film Society India in 1955 and said something about children being “buds in the garden” which should be “carefully and lovingly nurtured.” But an essay by Aakar Patel in Nehru’s India: Essays on the Maker of a Nation quotes the Australian High Commissioner, Walter Crocker, as saying that like all politicians Nehru had to occasionally perform for TV cameras. He wrote, “the acting was never worse than the pose of Chacha Nehru with the children.”

Crocker, a great admirer of Nehru in general, had no patience for the parade of children with flowers that his sycophants organised on Nehru’s birthday because he felt “(Nehru’s) interest in children was slender”. It’s especially ironic that Nehru’s birthday became Children’s Day when his daughter by all accounts had a rather lonely childhood at the family mansion while the freedom struggle consumed her father and grandfather, and her mother was often unwell and ill-at-ease among her anglicised sisters-in-law. In the current season of Nehru-bashing, it’s a miracle that he has been allowed to hold on to Children’s Day.

Congress  calls NaMo's birthday as Bad Omen day
