Nehru's brilliant intellect, deep humanity and lucid style make The Discovery of India essential reading for anyone interested in India, both its past and its present. But, the introduction by Sunil Khilnani (the author of The Idea of India) changed everything. Analysing texts like the Vedas and the Arthashastra, and personalities like the Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru brings alive an ancient culture that has seen the flowering of the world's great traditions of philosophy, science and art, and almost all its major religions. Bought this book for no particular reason except curiosity. Makes me proud that this man was my first Prime Minister. In this work of prodigious scope and scholarship, one of the greatest figures of Indian history unfolds the panorama of the country's rich and complex past, from prehistory to the last years of British colonial rule. Discovery of India is a reminder that the Indian freedom movement was driven by nationalism of a superior kind, that while deeply knowledgable and assertive of its national character, was still open minded about absorbing international influences and cared about humankind as a whole. The book was written during Nehru’s four years of confinement to solitude in prison and is his way of paying an homage to his beloved country and its rich culture. The Discovery of India, show the intellect and knowledge of Jawaharlal Nehru. This is a big fat book but I assure you that, every page of this book would take you back in time and show you the things which happened in the gone days.
