Answer 1

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru wrote an interesting letter to his daughter Indira in the first half of 1941 when he was lodged in Dehradun Jail. “All we can do is to face our job and do it as well as we can and to remain tranquil in spite of shock and disaster.” Indira was staying in a cottage near Mussoorie then. It was the time when India was in great turmoil with the Second World War going on in full swing. Nehru was arrested on 30 October 1940 while on his way back to Allahabad and brought to Gorakhpur for trial.
