Partition wouldn't have happened if Jinnah had become PM: Dalai Lama
Deccan ChroniclePanaji: Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama on Wednesday said Jawaharlal Nehru had a “self-centred attitude” to become India’s first prime minister even though Mahatma Gandhi was in favour of Muhammad Ali Jinnah taking the top post at that time. Responding to a student’s question on taking right decisions, he said, “I feel democratic systems are very good than the feudal system, which gives power of making decisions in the hands of a few people, which is more dangerous.” “Now look at India. “So Pandit Nehru, I know very well, very experienced person, very wise but sometimes mistake also happens,” he said. He said next day at the dawn, they were passing through a mountain and there was “every danger” of Chinese soldiers coming from two different places to stop them.
