Shastri ji's "Jai Jawan Jai Kisan" slogan still resonates with every Indian. These leaders lived what they preached - simplicity and honesty. We need more such leaders today.

While paying tribute is important, I wish our current leaders would actually follow their ideals in governance. Gandhi ji would have been disappointed with the current state of politics. Just saying nice words on birthdays isn't enough.

Both born on October 2nd - what a coincidence! Two great souls who shaped our nation. Their teachings should be part of school curriculum across India. 🇮🇳

Shastri ji's sudden death in Tashkent remains one of the biggest mysteries of Indian politics. He was a true leader of the masses. His simplicity was his strength.
