Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was a multi-faceted personality. Nehru endeared himself to the people by his youthful dynamism and daring spirit. The love he received from the people, in turn, became the very life’s breath for him. He became charged with energy, every time he travelled across the country and sensed the rich tapestry of India’s cultural streams. He lived life to the full, found time, in the midst of his multifarious activities, to date reading and writing. Nature enthused him. The rivers of India became specially dear to him. Modern in outlook, he laid the foundations for India’s industrial progress. He showed flashes of humour, goodwill, bonhomie, steely will to get things done, tact and diplomacy. Pandit Nehru is like a ball of quick-silver. Place your hand on a ball of mercury; and it splits into a thousand smaller balls, each one individualistic in its own right. On the same analogy, Pandit Nehru projects infinite facets. He is a humanist, a nationalist, a Good Samaritan, a negotiator, a friend of the poor and the down-trodden, a dreamer, a teacher, a guide, an activist. . . well, the list is endless. This book makes an attempt to gauge some of the facets of greatness of Pandit Nehru. This book is a collection of articles which appeared in The Deccan Chronicle during Nehru’s Birth Centenary. The language is lucid and vibrant. The theme is profound and rich. Together, they provide substance and strength to this Discovery of Nehru.
