The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society, in a special meeting, decided to drop the reference to former PM Jawaharlal Nehru from its name and rechristen the institution as Prime Ministers Museum and Library Society. Though a natural corollary of an earlier decision to expand the purview of the museum to include all 13 PMs of India at the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya, the move triggered sharp criticism and allegations of vendetta politics from the Congress.

Annadurai cautioned Nehru in 1947 about motives behind sengol ‘gift’
For a government that starts out on a new path, will its governance be good if it gets a sengol from those who have made a business out of exploiting the mind and subsequently the lives of the people?

How Secular Parties Played Their Part in Rise of Communalism
(an excerpt from Aditya Mukherjee’s book Political Economy of Colonial and Post-Colonial India)
