Grave worship is not Islamic at all. In Saudi Arabia, the ruling regime even razed the grave of Prophet's mother and built a car park over it instead. Taliban routinely kills Muslims worshipping graves. These grave worshipping faithful are not faithful at all.

One thing's for sure. Pandit Nehru liked to talk big. He just wasn't much of a walk the walker and the devil, if you will, was in the details.
He never put his money where his mouth was. There was a huge chasm between his speeches and his actual actions. He was merely a speech artist.
