Jawaharlal Nehru : An Autobiography

Jawaharlal Nehru Autobiography

Jawaharlal Nehru begins his life’s story with the story of his ancestors and their escape from Kashmir. He begins writing with a single view in mind: to understand how he came to join the Civil Disobedience Movement. He spends several sections explaining his family’s background and his ancestors. Through his own words, Nehru comes out as a quiet child, observant and full of thoughts. Readers understand the man that he becomes and the roles he plays in his later life as one of the main players in the Indian Independence Movement through his actions and his ideas as a child. This book is a definite read for anyone wishing to understand the man that became the first Prime Minister of Independent India.
