Jawaharlal Nehru emerged at a crucial turning point Indian history to take the rein of leadership into his hands. He was one of the key figures of India in the first half of the twentieth century, next perhaps only to Gandhi. His humanism, secularism, sensitivity and keen interest in the world around him make his writings and speeches both significant and inspiring.
