Question

Explain the contribution of nehru to freedom sruggle as a prime minister.

Answer 1

Jawaharlal Nehru was the first and foremost leader of freedom struggle in the last decades before independence. He was chosen by the Mahatma as his successor, in spite of his apparent differences in political and philosophical areas with his disciple. Patel’s efforts on national integration were conducted under the leadership of Nehru.

He and his team were the architects who laid the foundations of modern India. At the time of independence, India was a miserably poor country with over 80% of the people struggling for two meals a day. The average life span of an Indian was 31 years. Think about that - 31 years was a ripe old age to die. That was the average, the median age was much lower.
