My Desire to Join the Ganga, Jawaharlal Nehru
Ganges River, 1964
“My desire to have a handful of my ashes thrown into the Ganga at Allahabad has no religious significance, so far as I am concerned. I have no religious sentiment in the matter. I have been attached to the Ganga and the Jamuna rivers in Allahabad ever since my childhood and, as I have grown older, this attachment has also grown... The Ganga, especially, is the river of India, beloved of her people... she reminds me of the snow-covered peaks and the deep valleys of the Himalaya, which I have loved so much, and of the rich and vast plains below, where my life and work have been cast. Smiling and dancing in the morning sunlight, and dark and graceful stream in winter, and a vast roaring thing during the monsoon, broad-bosomed almost as the sea, and with something of a sea’s power to destroy.”
As Pandit Nehru had seen the river Ganga since his childhood and in different seasons, he had a lot of attachment for the river.
Explanation:
He regarded the river Ganga as a symbol of age-long culture and civilization of India and as the ‘the river of India’ as it is loved by the people of India for the religious values it holds.
The river Ganga reminded Pandit Nehru of the Himalayas with peak and deep valleys for which he had so much of love.
Hence, these scenic elements were the reason for his attachment to the river Ganga.
