After PM Modi says Israel was created on his birth date, Congress' 'Nehru' reply

During a recent speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarked that Israel was established on the same date he was born, igniting a political response from the Congress party. In reply, Congress leaders referenced a 1947 correspondence between Jawaharlal Nehru and Albert Einstein, in which Nehru acknowledged the suffering of the Jewish community while also addressing the intricate dynamics of the Palestine issue. This exchange highlights the historical context of India’s diplomatic stance towards Israel and Palestine, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Nehru's letter serves as a reminder of India's long-standing commitment to advocating for justice and peace in the region, reflecting the complexities that continue to shape international relations today. The Congress party's response underscores the importance of historical perspectives in contemporary political discourse, particularly as India navigates its role on the global stage.
