HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY 2014
Chacha Nehru as the
children fondly referred to him, was fond of both children and roses. In fact
he often compared the two, saying that children were like the buds in a garden.
They should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they were the future of the
nation and the citizens of tomorrow.
He felt that children are the real
strength of a country and the very foundation of society.
He was the beloved of all the children
who gave him the endearing name of Chacha .
As a tribute to this great man and
his love for the children, his birthday is celebrated all over India as CHILDRENS
DAY.

Quotes about/on
Children from Jawaharlal Nehru:
1.
"I like being with children and talking to them and, even
more, playing with them. For the moment I forget that I am terribly old and it
is very long ago since I was a child."
2.
"Can you recognise the flowers by their names and the birds
by their singing? How easy it is to make friends with them and with everything
in nature, if you go to them affectionately and with friendship. You must have
read many fairy tales and stories of long ago. But the world itself is the
greatest fairy tale and story of adventure that was ever written."
3.
"Grown-ups have a strange way of putting themselves in
compartments and groups. They build barriers... of religion, caste, colour,
party, nation, province, language, customs and of rich and poor. Fortunately,
children do not know much about these barriers, which separate. They play and
work with each other and it is only when they grow up that they begin to learn
about these barriers from their elders."
4.
"Some months ago, the children of Japan wrote to me and asked
me to send them an elephant. I sent them a beautiful elephant on behalf of the
children of India... This noble animal became a symbol of India to them and a
link between them and the children of India."
5.
"You know we had a very great man amongst us. He was called
Mahatma Gandhi. But we used to call him affectionately Bapuji. He was wise, but
he did not show off his wisdom. He was simple and childlike in many ways and he
loved children... he taught us to face the world cheerfully and with
laughter."
(Note: The above statements were made by Nehru in a beautiful letter to children he wrote on 3 December, 1949.)
