N2  - This short biography examines a great figures of twentieth century nationalism from the vantage point of the beginning of the twenty first. Deftly weaving personal facets with historical events, it tells the fascinating story of Jawaharlal Nehru aristocrat, socialist, anti imperialist, foremost disciple of Gandhi, diehard secularist and India’s first prime minister, who sought to educate the Indian masses in democracy by his own personal examples. Shashi Tharoor also analyses the principal pillars of Nehru’s legacy to India, all of which were integral to a vision of Indianness that is fundamentally contested today
