Hay-Making in Brittany Painting by Paul Gauguin

As an architect of modern India and a doughty champion of world peace, Jawaharlal Nehru is immortalized in history. Nehru came to be respected as world statesman for his policies of peace, secularism and non-interference in any country’s internal affairs. Nehru first appeared on the national political horizon in 1912, and in 1916 he came into contact with his political teacher, Mahatma Gandhi. Since then he continuously assisted Gandhiji in various movements which he launched during the freedom struggle.
