India · 1947–1964
Jawaharlal Nehru
Democratic socialist and nonaligned. Planning, heavy industry, and parliamentary rule.
Jawaharlal Nehru is on the world-leaders chart for India, 1947–1964. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Democratic socialist and nonaligned. Planning, heavy industry, and parliamentary rule.
The dot is economics -44 and authority +16, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is left of center on economics. The other axis sits toward authority. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: A socialist pattern of society, nonalignment, and parliamentary rule. Done: Plans, heavy industry, and elections. The China war showed the nonalignment had a price. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are Clement Attlee (United Kingdom, -54 / +14) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Brazil, -40 / +4). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
