How significant was Gandhi’s in to Indian politics? How does Nehru narrate that event in his book ‘Discovery of India?’
Answers
Answer:
Jawaharlal Nehru was the best biographer of Jawaharlal Nehru upto a point of time in his life. The prison did not deter him nor an active political life prevent him from within “An Autobiography", and “Discovery of India”.
Explanation:
The Discovery of India was written by India's first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru during his imprisonment in 1942–1946 at Ahmednagar fort in Maharashtra, India by the British during the British Raj before the independence of India. Some claim that The Discovery of India is an honour paid to the rich cultural heritage of India, its history and its philosophy as seen through the eyes of a patriot fighting for the independence of his country. The book was written in 1944 but published in 1946 as per ground sources. It is considered to be a classic in Indian literature, as established aptly as 'a book is essentially a monologue and at most exposes one to the writer's mind. But even that monologue can resonate with your inner intimate questions and then the book becomes a dialogue. Discovery of India is one such book.'[1]
