Glimpses of world history by nehru pdf

Nowhere is the statement of the incident or the analysis of its significance overstated. In the three years since the last edition of World History was published, many historic changes have taken place in India and around the world. The meaning and impact of all these changes are as vast as they are revolutionary. For those who want to get inspiration and direction from history, and who feel the need for pre-historic consciousness to read history, this book has now become richer and more meaningful.

Moreover, these events have made the author one of the best historians. He has reviewed the course of events in history for us with accurate and adventurous insights. The new Prime Minister of India and much-desired leader, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, is so entangled in the events that have exploited the current history that India has gained independence on the path of struggle and is now facing great problems in a peaceful burial with that determination. Like he has no retirement. Author Jawaharlal Nehru said in his preface to the book that he did not know when and where these letters would be published or whether they would be published at all.

These letters are written about history, which requires a little explanation. While reading the letters, the reader may understand his own explanation and explanation.

Loved each and every part of this book. I will definitely recommend this book to history, non fiction lovers. Your Rating:. Most of us could certainly arrange the order of events in our minds better. But sometimes the events themselves are strange and difficult to fit into any scheme of things. I think I wrote to you once that a study of history should teach us how the world has slowly but surely progressed, how the first simple animals gave place to more complicated and advanced animals.

How last of all came the master animal-Man, and how by force of his intellect he triumphed over the others. In to show you how the idea of some of my letters I have tried the idea of co-operation or working together has grown, and how our ideal should be to work together for the common good.

But sometimes, looking at great stretches of history, it is difficult to believe that this ideal has made much progress or that we are very much civilized or advanced.
