On Mount Rushmore , Vermont, in the USA , to memorialise them, on a huge tall mountain cliff are sculpted the faces of 4 of the tallest leaders in American History : George Washington, Thomas Jefferson , Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln .
If a similar memorial were to be also carved somewhere, say, on the grand Himalayan ranges , which 4 leaders of India would in your opinion deserve a magnificent place there ?
I would like my Facebook followers and friends to please come forward to record their Nominations please .
Let’s see what the poll outcome is !
My vote :
M. K. Gandhi
Jawaharlal Nehru
Jayaprakash Narayan
Narendra Modi
My vote above is based actually on the criteria of “Impact on history” :
Gandhi won INDIA freedom.
Nehru put India on the trajectory of becoming a modern industrial nation.
Indira Gandhi established India as a nuclear power and also a military power.
Jayaprakash Narayan delivered INDIA back to Democracy.
Narendra Modi has ushered INDIA safely into the 21st Century as a possible super power .
Out of the 5 above I cancelled out Indira Gandhi because she very nearly destroyed democracy in India and also stunted the country’s economy through socialism.
