Nehru

This book is a must read for every Indian. The full book should be made part of the school curriculum.

Not just for its historical significance but for getting a better understanding of India and the world.

The observations in the book are so in depth, the conclusions drawn are so accurate that even after 90 years they shine as diamonds.

This man alone understood India and we are so fortunate that he was gracious enough to write down his understanding in a book that is such delight to read. Through his work we can get a glimpse of India and the world.

He loved his country so much that every sentence of this book oozes out his empathy for his country men and his hatred for tyranny in equal measures.

I have never seen a politician so honest, straight like an arrow.

These days I enjoy reading classic fictions more than dry history. But this book is a delightful exception. I have about 100 pages left and I am almost sad that it will be over soon.

But that does not mean that I will start Discovery of India immediately 😀 I don't love India so much, not yet.

Next book - Three Musketeers, swashbuckling gallants and beautiful dames 😀
