Jawahar Lal Nehru Influenced by Gandhi Politics

Gandhiji insisted that freedom had to be granted in 1942 and he would wait no longer, but Jawaharlal Nehru did not support this. However, irrespective of the differences, Jawaharlal Nehru respected Mahatma Gandhi. He had influenced Nehrus personal, social as well as political life to a great deal. Correspondence between Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru reveal a complex, nuanced relationship. They differed with each other sharply but also influenced each other greatly.Nowhere is this trend more conspicuous than in Gandhi Nehru encounters stretching over three decades. No two leaders of the freedom struggle were so different from each other, and also so intimately connected to each other, as were Gandhi and Nehru. Superficially it would appear that the two were poles apart. There could be hardly anything in common between Nehru, with his Marxism, universalism and focus on modern science and technology and Gandhi with his spinning wheel, evening prayers and inner voice. Yet there existed an extremely deep bond between them which often helped to tide over an otherwise extremely stormy and contentious political relationship.
