Jawaharlal Nehru is among the most important personages of modern Indian history, second perhaps only to Mahatma Gandhi. When India gained its independence in August, 1947, Nehru became its first prime minister, a position he held until his death in 1964. During the 1950’s Nehru bestrode the world stage as the spokesman of neutralism during the Cold War struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. While Gandhi’s fame continues to live, Nehru has largely vanished from public awareness outside India, with many of his policies having proved to be impractical failures. Nehru: The Invention of India is an attempt to assess Nehru’s historical significance and his current relevance.
Shashi Tharoor, like Nehru, is an Indian with roots in the non-Indian world. Born in London, he was educated in India and the United States. He has served as the executive assistant to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, who, as a young man, was an admirer of Nehru. Nehru, dedicated to Annan, is a popular rather than a scholarly work, and though Tharoor is an admirer of Nehru and finds his contributions to modern India immense, Nehru is not an uncritical account of the Indian statesman.
