The Discovery of India begins with chapters on the Intellectual and spiritual tradition of India. It then gives a complete account of the regions history with an excellent analysis of the tragic forced economic, moral and intellectual decline through British rule. Nehru and Gandhi both worked for liberation through non-violence and non-cooperation and Nehru became the first prime minister of India.


In conjunction with the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund in New Delhi, Oxford proudly announces the reissue of Glimpses of World History and The Discovery of India, two famous works by Jawaharlal Nehru. One of modern day's most articulate statesmen, Jawaharlal Nehru wrote a on a wide variety of subjects. Describing himself as "a dabbler in many things," he committed his life not only to politics but also to nature and wild life, drama, poetry, history, and science, as well as many other fields. These two volumes help to illuminate the depth of his interests and knowledge and the skill and elegance with which he treated the written word.
