THIS IS his FIRST EXPERIENCE OF THE NARROW AND LONELY VALLEYS, HIGH UP IN THE WORLD, WHICH LEAD TO THE TIBETAN PLATEAU. FROM THE TOP OF ZOJI-LA PASS WE SAW THE RICH VERDANT MOUNTAINS SIDES BELOW US ON ONE SIDE AND THE BARE BACK ROCK ON THE OTHER. WE WENT UP THE NARROW VALLEY BOTTOM,FLANKED ON EACH SIDE BY MOUNTAINS, WITH THE SNOW-COVERED TOPS GLEAMING ON ONE SIDE AND THE LITTLE GLACIERS CREEPING DOWN TO MEET US. THE WIND WAS COLD AND BITTER BUT THE SUN WAS WARM IN THE DAY TIME, AND THE AIR WAS SO CLEAR OFTEN WE WERE MISLED ABOUT THE DISTANCE OF OBJECTS,THINKING THEM MUCH NEARER THEN THEY ACTUALLY WERE.
Answer:
The son of Swarup Rani and Motilal Nehru, a prominent lawyer and nationalist statesman, Nehru was a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge and the Inner Temple, where he trained to be a barrister. Upon his return to India, he enrolled at the Allahabad High Court and took an interest in national politics, which eventually replaced his legal practice. A committed nationalist since his teenage years, he became a rising figure in Indian politics during the upheavals of the 1910s. He became the prominent leader of the left-wing factions of the Indian National Congress during the 1920s, and eventually of the entire Congress, with the tacit approval of his mentor, Gandhi. As Congress President in 1929, Nehru called for complete independence from the British Raj and instigated the Congress's decisive shift towards the left.
