Introduction :

“I would say India must be profoundly grateful to him (Nehru) for the way in which he converted a purely political movement for independence in to an economic movement for a socialistic society though his socialism was of a different kind from Marxist socialism and precluded the use of violence advocating instead the retention and development of human individuality.
