Just like his intellectual descendant, Shashi-ji, Nehru-ji had spoken in English about India because his audience, like Shashi-ji's, was elsewhere.
The morning was glorious like no other, for the August Sun was shining on Nehru-ji as it had never done before.
Wearing his trademark jacket, not a crease or a spot, and a lusty rose in the buttonhole, Nehru-ji looked as fresh as the morning dew, and this despite the midnight.

Nehru-ji took out his Air Pods and instructed Siri in his clipped accent to play a song.
Unlike the blockheaded protagonists of the movie, Nehru-ji did not dance to the song.
A Congress worker tied a pigeon to a rocket and launched it, signaling the start of celebrations.
After some inspired suggestions from Nehru-ji, Plant and Page agreed to change the lyrics from "Not a single blade of grass grows there..." to "Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face...".
Also, there was some issue with the apparel as Nehru-ji did not like the socks that RHCP wanted to wear on the stage.
Nehru-ji later remembered this as one of the most powerful tributes because he later ensured that all these streets were named after him and his family.
A reporter had asked, "Your good name, Sir?" to an eminent historian, who then lost his cool.
Nehru-ji raised his left hand and the eminent historian cooled down.
The invitation card had read, "His Socialist Highness Jawaharlal Nehru cordially invites Bharat-Ratna..."
Since they did not show up, he gave himself a medal.

@Ayjchan @K_G_Andersen @stgoldst @RozSofia @Ayjchan @K_G_Andersen please note that there were 11 infections in the Beijing 2004 leaks, not 8.
The 8 you are mentioning are for the main chain of infection with 3 levels from one primary case in April.
But there were 3 more primary cases for a total of 11 cases.
@K_G_Andersen @stgoldst @RozSofia All were linked to the heavily contaminated CDC P3 lab (the top P3 in China at the time).
The cases are typically separated between:
- The February ones (Cui and Ren) which seem to have been covered up by the CDC Institute of Virology. Also we only have pseudonyms for these 2.
@K_G_Andersen @stgoldst @RozSofia - The April ones-9 infections (1+8, officially the 'Beijing-Anhui Apr-2004 breakout'.
The official Chinese report only focussed on the April infections - keeping very quiet about the February ones. Here is the main April chain of infection.
Here is are the 9 from Apr 2004:
@K_G_Andersen @stgoldst @RozSofia And here are the 9 people infected in Apr 2004:
(4-22 in the title -> April chain with alarm raised on the 22nd):
@K_G_Andersen @stgoldst @RozSofia The WHO eventually correctly mentioned 11 cases:
