Jawaharlal Nehru By Sara

Jawaharlal Nehru is a very important man to India because he dedicated himself to making India a free country.

Nehru was born on November 14,1889 in Allahbad, Central India. When he was older he went to Trinity College, University of Cambridge. After that he went off to study law. Later he married Kamala Kaul, and together they had a daughter named Indira. Indira later became the prime minister just like Nehru did. In 1829 Nehru became president of the Indian National Congress-4 times! He also made a couple books, one being called Toward Freedom. Next Jawaharlal Nehru became the prime minister of India. Jawaharlal Nehru also was against all kinds of Nuclear testing. He also protested against things, to make freedom in India happen. Then in January in the year of 1964 something terrible happened. Nehru suffered a stroke and that brought him to his time to pass away. However, everything that Jawaharlal Nehru stands for is still in many of the people’s hearts, they know that he had great courage to do what he did, and they respect him for that.

This project added alot to my previous knowledge. Before, I didnt even know who Jawaharlal Nehru was, however, now I do, and I now realize how Nehru was an important man in India, for the whole world for that matter. He wanted peace and also wanted freedom, I believe that is or should be the ultimate goal of the world. It’s nice knowing there was a man who thinks the same, and actually “fought” for what he believed. Thats my reflection on making this project.

“Life is a like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt represents determinisnm; the way you play it is free will.”, Stated by Jawaharlal Nehru.
