Discovery of India
Jawaharlal Nehru’s The Discovery of India is a timeless exploration of India’s history, culture, and philosophy, written during his imprisonment in the 1940s.
This book captivated me with its rich narrative of India’s heritage, blending historical scholarship with personal insight. Nehru’s profound reflections on Indian culture, religion, and politics helped me appreciate the complexities of our past while inspiring hope for the future.
His evocative metaphor of India as “an ancient palimpsest” resonates deeply, reminding me of the interconnected layers of history shaping our identity. It’s a book that instills pride and curiosity, urging readers to seek unity amidst diversity.
