The Discovery Of India

The Book gives us deep proud feeling of "Being Indian". The book tells us about old Indian civilization, past Indian glory, impact of British Raj in India, partition of India and also convince readers to learn from past, live and act in present for better and secure future. Must read by Every Indian and those who are doubtful about India's position in world.

If there is any doubt about Pandit Nehru'S true calling, this book provides the answer. Its a truly magnificient account of a man trying to understand and appreciate his motherland. Written with passion and a depth which is hard to match , Nehru delves deep into the story of his country peeling it layer by layer and holding up its glories for the world to see. Its written in a manner that only the truly intelectual can write in classy prose and in an engaging manner infused with anecdotes thereby making sure the book does not end up as a history text.
A must read for every Indian and if I could turn the clock back give me Nehru the writer anyday instead of the politician.

Know about the land that give us the bread,The struggle for survival of a state,the vision of great men that gives us what we call INDIA.
I will make this book as a curriculum for a mandatory course for all citizens who aspire to become a politician if i have the authority to do so...
India can lead the whole world if we have at least a handful of politicians as this man was...
These were men who gave their time , property , money ,etc etc for us ...without them practically India would'nt have existed.
Now politicians are robbing these things from poor citizens,Its a pity , its a curse for India to lose such great men...Their services,their vision,,their magnanimity...

India’s past; her glory, her victory, her shock, her reminiscence, her philosophy, her geography, her fate, and her everything… This is a compelling read from the man who lead India in her darkest hour; the man who was chosen by destiny to enlighten the Indians, proves himself to be an enlighten soul when it comes to know her. The history is nothing like a research material as it was intended to, primarily; ignite curiosity in a nine year old girl to know about her motherland. If you find the book bit exaggerated, forgive as it was written to make reader passionate about India.

You will get enthralled by the sheer knowledge mixed with the rhetoric that this world leader possessed. The best part about this book is contionous stress on karma or untiring passion for betterment of country. An infant's adolescent mind is nurtured by its parents. Its sheer god's gift to have a parent like this man for an infant country. His thrashing of religions on basis of quiescence is amazing.

His depiction of 'Dams' as modern temples is again a work of far sighted statesman.. I think its a must read for everyone specially growing kids of generation Y..
