Answer 2

The influence of this historic journey could be witnessed in all subsequent activities of India’s first prime minister.

85 years ago, Jawaharlal Nehru embarked on his first ever visit to Moscow to take part in the celebrations of the 10thanniversary of the October Revolution, that exerted enormous influence on the evolution of his world view.  Nehru along with his father, wife and sister, while returning to India from their Europe tour travelled to Moscow on the invitation of the Soviet Society for Cultural Relations with foreign countries. The four-day visit made a lasting impression on Nehru and influenced his world view very strongly. The influence of this historic journey could be witnessed in all subsequent activities of Pandit Nehru.

Invitations were also sent to prominent political leaders and public figures and leaders of India’s freedom movement to take part in the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Bolshevik Revolution. The Soviet national daily Pravda in an article on November 5, 1927 reported about invitations sent to Indian democrats and a bitter reaction of British colonial authorities to this. The British colonial administration deliberately leaked these invitations in the press in order to create a sensation. But as some of the invitees expressed their strong desire to avail of these invitations, the British authorities refused to grant them permission to go for the celebrations.  In spite of the prohibitory orders of the British authorities, some Indians, besides Jawaharlal Nehru and his father Motilal Nehru managed to travel to Moscow There was Indian revolutionary Saklatwala along with three members of the anti-imperialist league, who had arrived in Moscow to participate in the celebrations linked to the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution, and according to Nehru’s own account, Saklatwala was present in the Moscow station to greet him.
