Most overrated Indian Leader then and Now:

1.Who is the most overrated political leader of India according to you

In the earlier times and : Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru/Morarji Desai/Ajit Singh
• Now: Uddhav Thackeray, Soniya Gandhi/Rahul Gandhi/Priyanka Gandhi/Priya Dutt, any of those who had their parents/family in politics are now called the young guns

2.Why do you think that leader is/was overrated ? Which principles or acts of him/her makes you feel that leader is overrated? Born with a silver spoon does not make one a great leader, When you are given a golden opportunity, a leader is atleast supposed to make some positive out of it, you cant just be living off someone else's glory and be called a leader

3.Which leader according to you did'nt get proper recognition inspite of doing lot of good works and reforms for the Indian society? Shastriji, Sardar Patel, Tilak, Vasant Dada Patil

4.Which famous /prominent leader of India brought fame to India by his/her policies? Shastriji/Vajpayee, Narsimha Rao, Rajiv Gandhi, Manmohan Singh(as a FM, not a PM)

5.Who according to you among the present young politicians are the best administrators of coming years in India?

Dont know much outside the state, all the prominent names are(hopefully) in the soon-to-die category

I have seen very good organizational skills from RR Patil and Raj Thackeray at local levels, if they grow into better leaders we will see if they are good administrators

cheers,(on the rocks, please😉)

1. Ambedkar then - he seems to have high visibility for what?😕

2. any CM from southern states...- they seem to just have some halo behind them... thats all.

3.Which leader according to you did'nt get proper recognition inspite of doing lot of good works and reforms for the Indian society?

1. Chandrababu naidu

4.Which famous /prominent leader of India brought fame to India by his/her policies?

Laloo prasad yadav by saving the railways.

5.Who according to you among the present young politicians are the best administrators of coming years in India?

Rahul Gandhi - mainly since he has a grandmother and father who were martyrs when they handled terrorism with heavy hand and a mother who tries to blend against all odds...

Request:: Please exclude Mahatma Gandhi from the discussion as he is the Father of the Nation and we all respect him. I do know that "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."

<>

but no politician is our chachaji /chachi or mamaji/mami to have any personal grudges on them,when we discuss a person naturally we discuss their contributions and ideologies but not their personal lives!!

cheers,

Netaji (He was and is not given proper respect then and even now😭) Shri Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel ji( Wish he had finished all other left oover tasks,its sad that he did'nt accomplish those tasks,India really needs a leader like him now) Lal Bahadur Sastri ji Shri P.V.Narasimha Rao garu( brought good economic reforms which actually gave new birth to Indian Economy and Indian outlook as a whole👏)

In the earlier times Morarji Desai ( Haa! I donot know what he contributed to India except for the publicity of auto therapy😛)
• Now Bal Thackeray (I too feel sometimes but he is still in the form and he still makes some difference😊)

These two people(Morarji and Bal ) have closed minds 😛

2.Why do you think that leader is/was overrated ? Which principles or acts of him/her makes you feel that leader is overrated? Morarji Desai because I never found him charismatic through his work or words.

About Bal Thackeray I think it is understood why I think he is overrated. Still if I have to mention then I would say for creating unrest in our country through his various actions.

True but there are some valid points in his principles though I don't support him!

3.Which leader according to you did'nt get proper recognition inspite of doing lot of good works and reforms for the Indian society? Lal Bahadur Shastri

Agree😊

4.Which famous /prominent leader of India brought fame to India by his/her policies? Indira Gandhi 1000% agree with you(reading the book by kathrine frank made me a biiiiiiiig fan of Indu)

5.Who according to you among the present young politicians are the best administrators of coming years in India?

Young as in age or experience? I would say

Priya Dutt. Rangarajan Kumaramangalam was promising but died so young.

I donot know much about Priya Dutt much! But Kumaramangalam was a good leader😭

Thanks Mythili for this thread. Came as a fresh air.😊 Thankyou😊
