Jawaharlal Nehru on Communalism

This book is primarily for those who want to understand the menace of communalism-what it precisely is, how does it grow, and how, if not checked, it can develop the potential that can destroy a people, a nation and the whole world. Pt. Jawaharlla Nehru both spoke and wrote on the problem extensively. Prof. Nand Lal Gupta has selected the most important parts of these writings and speeches of Pt. Nehru for us; and has added learned footnotes to make, wherever necessary, their contexts and meanings clear. Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer has rightly said in the Foreword that “these footnotes are highly valuable and useful, especially for academics who want to understand complex forces working at cross purposes which ultimately brought about partition of our country”.
