Socialism is “A political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole”. Nehru also believed in the socialism and he named the socialist society as good society. The roots of Nehru’s view on socialism can be traced back to time of his studies in Europe, especially in Cambridge. When he was studying in Cambridge, he was influenced by the Fabian Socialism and Fabian socialists. For example, Mrs. Besant, who was the one of the original Fabians, was one the closest friend of his family. During the visit to Soviet Russia in 1926-27, Nehru was also influenced with the achievement of the Soviet Russia in the area of economic development.
