We see through them the development of Nehru’s vision for free India and the actual process of transforming the blueprint into reality. As his ideas for India’s internal development were inextricably linked to its role and position in the world we are also privy to the panning out of India’s foreign relations (especially those with Pakistan) and its emergence as a respected voice in the international arena – much like its position in today’s world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe challenges facing newly independent India-both social and economic-reflected in Nehru’s speeches, also echo many current debates on the space for minorities, communal harmony or issues of poverty, entrenched interests, inflation, and productivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese speeches from Nehru’s ‘Prime Ministerial years’ are an early articulation of government policies and its position vis-à-vis infrastructural development, the roles of government and business, the differing requirements of communities and languages and the inseparability of science and ethics. They often also reflect the opposition and struggle Nehru faced in the implementation of these policies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile most selections in the collection focus on the building of Nehru’s India, a few have been included to reflect the person behind the politician and administrator.
