What Did Harsh Goenka Tweet?

Goenka wrote, “Listen to the voices of all our Prime Ministers. While each carries the weight of history, most of us know whose voice stands out the best?”

What Did The Recordings Say?

The first was Jawaharlal Nehru, India's Prime Minister from 1947 to 1964, who said “Hum mei se jo bhool jaein unka kartawya kya hai, unhone apne mulk ke saath wafadaari nai ki,” which loosely translates to “ Those of us who forget our duties have not been loyal to our countries.” 

The recording also included Gulzari Lal Nanda, who was the PM in 1964 for just 13 days. 

Lal Bahadur Shastri, who was the Prime Minister from 1964-1966 said in the recording, “Ye jo swarajya aya hai use hum mazbooti se apne pass rakhenge”, which implies, “ The Independence we have got, we will keep it fortified”.

Indira Gandhi, 1966 to 1977, and 1980 to 1984, “Kis cheese ne Bharat ko pehle kamzoor kiya tha, jisse humne apni azadi khoi”, which transaltes to “What made India weak that we lost our independence”. 

The recording also includes names of Morarji Desai, Chaudhary Charan Singh, Rajiv Gandhi, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, YP Singh, Chandra Shekhar, PV Narsimha Rao, among others.
