Summary |
The oxford India Nehru, part of the prestigious Oxford India collection, draws from the entire range of Nehru's writings and speeches, and brings together more than 200 letters, articles, book extracts, political statements, prison diary entries, and early personal correspondence.
The first section 'Culture and Society' reveals Nehru's belief that for future progress, knowledge of our past culture and civilization is essential. Nehru's intense administration for Gandhi and the unique relationship they shared is reflected in the section on Gandhi.'Congress' and 'Toward Freedom' reveal how closely Congress work and the Independence movement were linked in the struggle for freedom. 'Independent Years' covers seventeen years of Nehru's life as Prime Minister. The section 'India and Beyond' reflects his active involvement in world affairs. While the 'personal' section provides glimpses of Nehru's private life, the writings in the 'general' section brings out the extraordinary breadth of his interests.
