The edifice of Nehruvian-thought

Nehru's 125th birthday has been marred with controversies. Typical of modern-day politics - they argued on the ownership of Nehru as an icon while Nehruism and its contribution to the growth of India through its nascent years and beyond gathered dust in the long-forgotten annals of history. The edifice of Nehruvian-thought has been long demolished though. It seems as if only symbolism and tokenism is all that matters to the political class. 
Edifice is our word of the week. It is used here as a metaphor. Edifice is a large, imposing structure or a huge, complex organisation or system.
