Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru will forever be remembered as a leader who strengthened the secular fabric of the country and had on his shoulders the task of carrying India from the post-war era into the new age. It will also serve one well to remember that Pandit Nehru lost Mahatma Gandhi, his spiritual and political guru and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, his trusted lieutenant within three years of India's independence. But Nehru continued to work on the principle of Gandhi and with the energy of Sardar Patel to lead India's "tryst with destiny."
