Thanks for the informative article which has thrown light in many unknown aspects about Shastri. The story behind the birth of " Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan was interesting. Another factor is that " Shstri"  title was conferred on him by Kasi Viswa Vidyalay Shastri means Scholar.

Shastri ji's humble look spoke a lot about him. It defined his soft behaviour very clearly. Look wise he was not as dashing as the first P.M of India but that's just an outer projection. His soft look never portrayed that he was a distinguished scholar but he was so in reality.  

Lal Bahadur Shastri was a very simple person and his family also imbibed these values. In the Institute I did my engineering one of his sons had come to seek admission and stood quietly in line. But soon the news spread and many went to see him and appreciated the fact that he behaved like a normal person. It was India's misfortune that he passed away so soon.

That's what I call as Simplicity.Lal Bahadur Shastri passed on his property called Simplicity to his next generations too. And his family to maintained that Simplicity uninterrupted. And your example substantiates to it.

Shastriji was the real son of this soil, a humble and down-to-earth gentleman who inspired many to lead a simple, honest life like him. Although we do remember his jai jawan jai kisan, sadly it is only on rare occasions and his vision has been lost. I hope it is revived and something is done about reviving the agriculture, that would be the true tribute to this great man.

People always get carried away by charisma and when that becomes the judging point then it's unfortunate. The worst part is, those who have to prove themselves not only on the basis of work but also shine brightly despite of his timid look is always doubly taxing but can be achieved easily through self belief. Late Lal Bahadur Shastri proved his might in every way with his strong ability.

When he had been to Tashkent after 1965 Indo - Pak war, in Tashkent shastriji died under mysterious conditions. Additionally during 1965 India was facing severe food shortage, It was then Shastriji realized the importance of food shortage, he asked the Nation to observe fast for a day.
