Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi’s second-in-command in the country’s freedom struggle and the architect of post-independence India, passed away fifty years ago on May 27, 1964. His contributions during the freedom struggle and as the first Prime Minister of India are manifold and are worth recalling.
It was he who put India’s freedom struggle in the international context. He explained to the then Congress leaders that India’s struggle was a part of the worldwide struggle against colonialism and imperialism.
It was Nehru who conceived, in the thirties of the last century, the idea of economic planning. It was at his instance that the then Congress President, Subhas Chandra Bose, set up the National Planning Committee of the Congress, with several sub-committees under it, on December 17, 1938.

Jawaharlal Nehru the architect of industrialization and modern India.
∆ Nehruji was the one who put India’s freedom struggle in the international context.
∆ He was the one who conceived , in the thirties of the last century, the idea of economic planning.
∆ India’s transition to a modern industrial country was based on the foundations that Nehru built and which he called ‘the temples of modern India’.
It was Nehru who evolved free India’s foreign policy. The policy had three distinct features: not getting involved in the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union; treating the socialist world led by the Soviet Union as India’s friends; and pursuing an independent foreign policy of anti imperialism and consolidating the unity of the Third World countries, most of which, like India, had just thrown off the yoke of foreign rule.
∆ Parliamentary democracy was one of the ‘national goal’ for Nehru. He was convinced that India needed a democratic form of government not only because the latter respected the Individual and was inherently desirable, but also because a diverse, vast and divided country could not be held together and governed in any other way.
∆ Though Nehru was persuaded that India needed to encourage cottage and small -scale industries to ease the problems of poverty and unemployment, he saw them as a temporary expedient only necessary until the country became fully industrialised.
For Nehru industry, not agriculture, was the lever of economic development. He thought that industry -led growth transformed the economy far more quickly and effectively than agriculture -led growth. For Nehru agriculture was a primitive and culturally inferior activity.
It was tied to land, parasitic upon the forces of nature, made man a plaything of nature and encouraged ‘fatalistic’ and ‘obscurantism’ ways of thought. It also fragmented the country, confined man’s vision to the narrow limits of his village, and was a breeding ground of ignorance, traditionalism, passivity, narrow - mindedness and superstition.
∆ Nehru vigorously pleaded for a secular state, but his view of secularism was complex and vague. He distinguished between the spiritual and ideological -cum -institutional dimensions of religion.
∆ According to Nehru: “Right education must be all round development of the human being, harmonizing of our internal conflicts and a capacity to co -operate with others. ” Nehru attached great importance to the practical aspect of education. Examination oriented education was never favoured by Nehru, He attached more importance to real education; and by that he do not mean examinations and the like.
