Jawaharlal Hazir Ho: Pandit Nehru’s 3259 days behind the bars of the prison (Paperback - Hindi)  | Released: 15-11-2024

India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru went to jail a total of nine times between his first imprisonment in 1922 and his last release in 1945. The least for 12 days and the most for 1,041 days. He spent a total of 3259 days in jail, that is, eight and a quarter years of his life. This is the story of a young man, the only son of a select wealthy family of the country, who returned from a school in London after studying law. When he came in contact with Gandhiji, he left his life of luxury and made the resolution of the country's independence the goal of his life. There came a time when all the members of the family were in jail and there were only children in the house. After all, what were those nine crimes due to which the British government sentenced Jawaharlal Nehru and kept him in jail? Was jail life that simple? In fact, this is the story of how Nehru made jail and court a medium to express his views in his continuous struggle from 1915 to 1947. Our journey of freedom reached our Constitution through the narrow corridors of imprisonment and law. This is not just a document of court proceedings, it is the saga of important events happening during Jawaharlal Nehru's comings and goings in and out of jail and the countless unknown warriors of the freedom struggle.
