Description Separated by age, custom, tradition, faith and beliefs, India?s ?father of the nation? and first prime minister shared arguably the most important political partnership that modern India has or perhaps will ever witness.  Together They Fought presents about 500 letters, telegrams, messages and notes exchanged between Gandhi and Nehru in the nearly three decades from 1921 to 1948. In these, they share views on a wide range of events, people and issues: from the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and Salt Satyagraha, to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Subhas Chandra Bose, to the social empowerment of ?untouchables? and the inclusion of women in the Congress Working Committee.  Accompanied by visuals that capture the depth, richness and vibrancy of the unique bond shared by Gandhi and Nehru, this carefully selected, judiciously annotated and chronologically arranged volume takes readers on a journey through the political arena of a nation in the pangs of birth and into the inner workings of two brilliant minds of the twentieth century.  A collector?s volume, this book will appeal not just to students and scholars of Indian history, politics, literature and cultural studies but to anyone interested in the making of modern India.  Extracts From the book  ?Above everything I admire action and daring and courage and I found them all in you in a superlative degree. And I felt instinctively that however much I may disagree with you, your great personality and your possession of these qualities would carry us to our goal.? ? Jawaharlal Nehru to Mahatma Gandhi (Letter dated 11 January 1928)  ?If you are elected, you will be elected for the policy and principles you stand for. I would like you therefore to tell me whether you will allow your name to be proposed for the crown of thorns.? ? Mahatma Gandhi to Jawaharlal Nehru (Letter dated 22 September 1935)
