摘要
A quasi-official campaign is currently afoot in India to denigrate Jawaharlal Nehru, belittling his role in the freedom struggle and in the shaping of India, post-1947. It is, therefore, necessary for us to go to the record, especially Nehru's own writings. He represented a brilliant combination of a profoundly sympathetic appraisal of the past wisdom of India with a close relationship with India's poorest of the poor. He did so with a full commitment to a scientific temper and a vision of a secular, rational democratic free India. This essay attempts to illustrate these facts by quotations from his own writings and statements.
