Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Nehru - A Troubled Legacy raises a fundamental question. Have we yet made an honest assessment of Nehru and in effect, an honest assessment of India's contemporary history? To investigate this significant gap, the author digs deep into historical records and in turn, raises several pertinent questions. Was Nehru truly a 'great democrat' as many of his acolytes suggest or was he just cleverly grooming his daughter for the top job and dislodging her potential challengers from key positions in the party and government? Was he really a 'secular' person or was secularism a mask for his disdain, nay, hatred for Hinduism? Was he a man of principles or did he adopt double standards whenever it suited him? Did he ever have a proper measure of India's defense needs or was he foolhardy when it came to defense matters? Did he take a strong, principled stand against corruption or did he go out of his way to protect and promote cronies and some of his favorites who faced serious charges of corruption? Was he the great leader of the Congress and India as he has thus far been made out to be or was he a person given to human frailties like being petty and manipulative? A scholarly and dispassionate analysis of these and many other ignored or hidden questions sheds new light on Nehrus handling of the nation and its long-term impact on Indias national character. A must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship Nehru had with our nation-builders like Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel and Dr Rajendra Prasad, as also in unraveling the true state of Indian affairs pre-Independence and in the decades after Independence beyond what the propaganda machines have fed us over the years. 'Why is it that with all the will in the world, I cannot understand what is obvious to you? I am not as far as I know suffering from intellectual decay. Should you not then set your heart on at least making me understand what you are after?' - Mahatma Gandhi to Nehru "You are in habit of proclaiming that you stand by yourself and represent nobody else. At the same time, you call yourself a socialist sometimes, a full-blooded socialist. How a socialist can be an individualist as you regard yourself beats me. The one is anti-thesis of the other." - Subhas Chandra Bose to Nehru. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Nehru s Luminous Legacy, The Jawaharlal Nehru University: Fifty Years and Thereafter, reminisces the pathways that led to the glorious existence of the University by its alumni. This book presents reminiscences by thirty-seven scholars with a tinge of personal touch about the various stages of development of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in the first five decades as a successful model for higher education in India and an institution of high-quality intellectual development and international reputation by implementing Nehru s vision of education. The reminscences of the Jhola Wallahs three decades ago have the zeal, fire and honesty. JNU is Nehru s abiding legacy as a world-class higher education institution committed to intellectual freedom, critical thinking, a democratic public space., international academic exchange, and onward search for knowledge for the betterment of human beings. JNU stands different in its academic culture and commitment to social justice, social welfare, citizens education and nation-building. The book reminds us of the strength of Nehruvian values and the old admission policy that brought up several intellectuals of standing who contributed greatly to the nation s development.…
