I agree Rajaji would have been better. But till 1958 he did not openly come out against socialism. Till then, he, too, was absolutely convinced about Nehru’s ability to lead. I’ve read his writings on this subject.
Nehru was ELECTED leader, and yes while Gandhi played a part, there were no contenders.
Re: his commitment to democracy. That was absolute and complete. He taught most Indians about democracy. He tutored Chief Ministers about democracy.
Please don’t second guess one of India’s greatest sons.
If you are better, prove it. Or keep your peace. I challenge you to contribute more to India than Nehru did. Don’t whine. Be a man and DO.
