Question

discussed the idea of leadership as expressed by Jawaharlal nehru in his essay the homage to gandhi​

Answer 1

Answer:

The American journalist Louis Fischer, after conducting extensive interviews with both Gandhi and Jinnah, noticed an importance difference in their responses to questions that were put to them.

Putting a question to Jinnah was like asking a phonogram. His answers were so fixed that they could almost be pre-recorded. The answers were not likely to be different, no matter how many times the question was put to him.

But with Gandhi, asking a question was akin to starting a creative process. Gandhi’s initial response was like the draft of a book in the process of being written. Thinking and speaking happened simultaneously. Soon Gandhi would also incorporate the response of the questioner into his answer. The answer would thus keep getting modified and develop as the dialogue went on.

Nowhere is this trend more conspicuous than in Gandhi-Nehru encounters stretching over three decades. No two leaders of the freedom struggle were so different from each other, and also so intimately connected to each other, as were Gandhi and Nehru. Superficially it would appear that the two were poles apart. There could be hardly anything in common between Nehru, with his Marxism, universalism and focus on modern science and technology and Gandhi with his spinning wheel, evening prayers and inner voice. Yet there existed an extremely deep bond between them which often helped to tide over an otherwise extremely stormy and contentious political relationship.

There is a fairly widespread and popular picture of the nature of relationship between Gandhi and Nehru. It is that of Nehru being patronised and pampered by Gandhi, Nehru needing Gandhi to establish him in Indian politics and Gandhi finally propping Nehru to the helm of Indian politics in independent India.

During the course of the freedom struggle, there was another image of a young and radical Nehru rebelling against Gandhi and developing as a rival to him. This image of the two representing two different and rival strands in the freedom struggle was dispelled by Gandhi himself when he wrote in 1936: “Are we rivals? I cannot think of myself as a rival to Jawaharlal or him to me. Or, if we are, we are rivals in our love for each other in the pursuit of the common goal.” In 1942, Gandhi declared that Nehru would be his political heir.
