The Ganga and the Jamuna meant a lot to Jawaharlal Nehru. He had been attached to them ever since his childhood. His attachment had grown with years. He had watched their changing moods with the change of seasons. They had been a source of great inspiration for him. In spite of this his attachment to the Ganga was not religious. Nehru calls the Ganga ‘the river of India’ because it is loved by her people. The songs of India’s victories, defeats, racial memories, hopes and fears are interwoven round the Ganga. It is also a symbol of India’s age-long culture and civilization which have ever been changing and ever-owing like the Ganga. The Ganga reminded Nehru of the snow-covered peaks and the deep valleys of the Himalayas which he loved so much and of the rich and vast plains below, where his life and work had been shaped.
