Nehru and the Cabinet Mission- A Road to India's Freedom Struggle

Preface The Cabinet Mission Plan was the first positive document for India's freedom, in which the Labor Prime Minister Attlee played a key role. In India, the political tangle for freedom became more acute for the opposite view of Nehru-Jinnah-Wavell, resulting the birth of a new state for the Muslims called Pakistan. Nehru-the idealist became disillusioned for the troubled situation, Jinnah, took to violence on the basis of his Two-Nation theory, while Wavell-the Viceroy as well as other leaders in Britain, differed fundamentally from the principles of the Cabinet Mission which they originally professed. It was no wonder that a truncated Pakistan had been born from the partition of India.

Jawaharlal Nehru played a key role in the struggle for India's freedom through negotiations with the British. His patriotism was beyond doubt. For over thirty years, he was India's foremost nationalist. He gave articulation and leadership to millions of people in India. He was the first statesman in the Afro-Asian world to lead his country along with an untraded path of non-alignment. He was one of the leaders of humanism realizing that imperialism was a curse and that nationalism should be poised on a sense of international community. He was the world's most committed enemy of imperialism. He was a man of intellect, honest and sincere.
