JAWAHARLAL NEHRU...

Jawaharlal Nehru, son of Motilal Nehru, was born in Allahabad on November 14, 1889.
    he was sent to England for his studies to keep him away from polotics, but his father soon realised that this was quite futile.
    The first Prime Minister of free India, Jawaharlal Nehru became the Congress President first in 1929- 30, and then several times later.
    Nehru was guided by the spirit of democracy and freedom. He was the world's greatest democrat. He was a dreamer and an idealist. His achievements are innumerable and  unmatched. He was one of the greatest captains of the freedom struggle, a man who was next only to gandhiji in his contribution to the shaping of the struggle for which he was in and out of jail. He wrote beautiful letters to his daughter from jail.
     Nehru was India's Prime Minister for seventeen years. It cannot be denied that he laid the foundation of our democracy, our secularism and our policy which is comparable to that of the rest of the world.
     Nehru was a cultured man, polished and polite. He was sincere to his friends, devoted to his wife, affectionate to his daughter and an ideal brother. He loved children very much and he was called "Chacha Nehru" by them. So rightly "Children's Day is celebrated on his birthday. He had a sense of humour that was spontaneous and very original. He had a great sense of duty and believed in the dignity of labour.
      Jawaharlal Nehru died on May 27, 1964....
