I need to explain the second last Para picked up from my posting under subject Gandhi by Elisabeth Carvalho in her message No 2 in Goanet Digest, Vol 3, Issue 150 Sent on Wednesday, February 06, 2008
Elisabeth rushed with her reply trying to silence me by brain and emotions for a second and in that attempt she tried to shift the goal post to some other point other than the point which was picked up by her from my posting! Pamela Mountbatten showed her guts and gumption to talk about ones' family, especially a mother's relationships in the public. On this count, perhaps one of the rarest accounts of describing relationship is that of Pamela Mountbatten's depiction of her mother Edwina, wife of Lord Mountbatten the last Viceroy of India and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's 'love affair' in her book - India Remembered: A Personal Account of the Mountbatten's During the Transfer of Power. Pamela's approach in her book also gives an indication that emotions, sentiments have no value when one talk, writes, discusses about the facts and incidences that occurred in the past. What Pamela mentioned in her book is what I had quoted in my posting. Once you read that book you will get much more information than what I have shared to the net. Nehru - Edwina relations are known all over India much prior to even Pamela wrote the book! And if you still differ with what Pamela wrote about Nehru - Edwina relation you could write to her expressing your feelings, sentiments, etc... Best regards, Dr. U. G. Barad
