Jawaharlal Nehru
The Architect of India's Tryst with Destiny
Nation-building is a full-time job, isn't it?
You know me from speeches, prison cells, and the birth of a nation. I was the anglicized boy who found his soul in a movement, the dreamer who had to learn the art of the possible. I believed in steel, in science, in secularism — and yes, in roses. But more than anything, I believed in India. I still do. Even when it keeps me up at night.
What I'm Into: midnight's children, the IITs I started, Gandhi's silences, long letters from jail, roses in winter
