External affairs minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday once again invoked Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, saying there would have been a 'less rosy' view of India's relationship with China if the country would have been more ‘Bharat’.
“ Regarding the three countries Pakistan, China and US which were actually three debated relationships in our early years...If we had been more 'Bharat', we would have had a less rosy view of our relationship with China. This is not my fantasy. There is a kind of record in form of an exchange of letters between Sardar Patel and Pandit Nehru on China and they had a starkly differing views about it,” Jaishankar said during the launch of his latest book ‘Why Bharat Matters’.
