Nehru, Jawaharlal
Nehru's India: select speeches - New Delhi Oxford University Press 2007 - vi, 278 p.
Amazingly relevant in today's India, these twenty-one speeches from Jawaharlal Nehru's 'Prime Ministerial years' take us through Nehru's vision for free India. They articulate the government's position and policies regarding infrastructural development, the roles of government and business, the differing requirements of communities and languages, and the inseparability of science and ethics-issues contemporary India continues to grapple with. Interestingly, these pieces also help reveal the person behind the politician and administrator, and showcase an intellectual with a remarkable range of interests and erudition. With an engaging introduction by Mushirul Hasan that cleverly knits the speeches together, this volume will appeal to every Indian and anybody interested in good writing.
