Jawaharlal Nehru
Jawaharlal Nehru has won the admiration of the people of India and the world as a national leader, as a writer, as a humanist etc. Anyone who wishes to understand the controversial aspects of his personality would do well to peruse this biography. This work also traces the history of the freedom movement in India.The occasional glimpses of the family life of Nehru are enlivening. He was the most remarkable statesman, a man who enthralled everyone with his magical personality; a leader who was literally hero-worshipped and an orator of the order, who, once he climbed the rostrum and took the microphone in his hand, became one with the audience and held them spellbound. The colourful and complex personality of Nehru is viewed through Indian eyes a fact which makes the book all the more interesting.
Nehru
Shashi Tharoor delivers an incisive biography of the great secularist who—alongside his spiritual father, Mahatma Gandhi—led the movement for India’s independence from British rule and ushered his newly independent country into the modern world. The man who would one day help topple British rule and become India’s first prime minister started out as a surprisingly unremarkable student. Born into a wealthy, politically influential Indian family in the waning years of the Raj, Jawaharlal Nehru was raised on Western secularism and the humanist ideas of the Enlightenment. Once he met Gandhi in 1916, Nehru threw himself into the nonviolent struggle for India’s independence, a struggle that wasn’t won until 1947. India had found a perfect political complement to her more spiritual advocate, but neither Nehru nor Gandhi could prevent the horrific price for independence: partition. This fascinating biography casts an unflinching eye on Nehru’s heroic efforts for, and stewardship of, independent India and gives us a careful appraisal of his legacy to the world.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and the Peasant Movement
In 1930, After The Commencement Of The Salt Satyagraha, A Peasant Agitation In An Organised Manner Was Started In U.P. By Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Which Provided Enormous Strength To The Civil Disobedience Movement. The Agitation Contributed In Two Ways To The Civil Disobedience Movement. In The First Place It Contri¬Buted In Creating An Awakening Among The Farmers Of India And Infused New Life Into Them. In The Second Place The Struggle, Launched By Nehru, Strengthened The C.D.M. It Was This Awakening Which Made The Farmers Fearless In Their Relations With Zamindars, Taluqdars, Police And Officials And Ultimately It Brought About A Gradual Decline In The Injus¬Tices And Cruelties Committed Against The Farmers By The Landlords And Others. It Was This Agitation Which Laid The Foundation For The Abolition Of The Zamindari System. The Present Volume Will Help In A Modest Way In Augmenting The Treasure House Of Knowledge For The Political, Social, Economic And Historical Forces Of The Times Because All Important Literature Relating To The Work, Activities And Thinking Of Pt. Nehru During The Peasant Agitation Has Been Incorpora¬Ted In This Book.
