Answers
hey mate here is your answer
The journey in The Discovery of India begins from ancient history, leading up to the last years of the British Raj. Nehru uses his knowledge of the Upanishads, Vedas, and textbooks on ancient history to introduce to the reader the development of India from the Indus Valley Civilization, through the changes in socio-political scenario every foreign invader brought, to the present day conditions.
Nehru was jailed for his participation in the [Quit India] movement along with other Indian leaders, and he used this time to write down his thoughts and knowledge about India's history. The book provides a broad view of Indian history, philosophy and culture, as viewed from the eyes of an Indian fighting for the independence of his country.
In The Discovery of India, Nehru argued that India was a historic nation with a right to sovereignty.This book also analyses in depth the philosophy of Indian life. It has 10 chapters.

Answer:
In judging this book, one must bear in mind that it was written in prison without full references. The first 7 chapters are a fairly good summary. But Nehru, the politician, becomes insincere later on. He makes no mention of all those who fought and died valiantly but were not part of the Congress. Most painful are the omissions of the revolutionaries, Subash (mentioned briefly) and the INA .
But then this is NEHRU... the politician who led India into neocolonialism.
