Jawaharlal Nehru, the architect of modern India, was a man of dynamic vision, intellectual integrity and profound qualities of leadership. His adoption of the socialist pattern of society for India resulted in the country’s taking massive strides into modernisation. An attempt has been made in this book to collect the thoughts of Jawaharlal Nehru on social issues at one place. Thirteen different aspects discussed by him at different places and points of time have been brought together. The aspects covered are: social philosophy of life; political and economic systems; historiography; democratic ideals; national reconstruction; national integration; education; women; youth; children; social problems; communication and communications; and peace on earth and good will for all. The best way to pay homage to Jawaharlal Nehru on the eve of his birth centenary is to present to the reading world a bouquet of his ideas. This is what the present book precisely does.
