'At the stroke of midnight, when the whole world has slept, we wake up into prosperity and freedom'
-Nehru has made a mistake in his sentence, because at midnight in India, people in New York are wide awake
Just happened to read this just now from a website, it came as a blow right in my head. I have heared and read this statement 'n' number of times, but it never struck me that there was a mistake in this statement. I am NOT an Anti-Nehru and am not willing to get into the history and all the stuff......but am worried that my mind hadn't got this simple fact.
Lot of self-analysis to be done....donno how many such mistakes my mind has missed.....this ofcourse doesn't have any relevence with my life - just that missed to find out a mistake - but how many decisions do we make based on things which we read - things we hear - things we see.....may my lil brain be a lil more active in interpreting 'correct' things out of the 'sources' from which we derive at 'decisions'

Its not a mistake. Our nation is a world for us. This type of context happens in every country. For example if some one achieves some thing in US they recognise him as the only achiever in the world. But this is slowly getting corrected as and when things like gunnis book, believe it or not, world records, etc., are comming up.
