About the Book
The world order of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964) has always been a subject of considerable scholarly and global interest, and yet these are not too many books where the said subject has been extensively dealt with. Shri Attar Chand's book is such a one which is based on sufficient study and research and covers all the important phases and facets of Nehru, highlighting the period 1920-1988 to present a study of Nehru's ideas and impact.

The essays contained in the volume present interpretations of Nehru's philosophy and thoughts, viz., his strong adherence to democratic principles, his deep love for secularism, his great desire to see world free from tension and exploitation and his unending efforts at global cooperation for the good of the mankind, and his economic policies. Nehru's contributions to the organization and consolidation of the Indian National Congress as a vehicle for the struggle for Freedom have been well evaluated in some of the essay. Nehru has been depicted as one of the makers of independent India and the values in the field of democracy, secularism, socialism and non-alignment set by Nehru have been discussed.

Shri Attar Chand has augmented the collection with an elaborate and exhaustive introduction which not only throws ample light on the life, philosophy and achievements of Nehru as a leader of the Freedom Move-ment and the first prime minister of independent India, but also closely examines the far reaching results of Nehru's economic policies and re-forms. India's planning since the First Five Year Plan, during Nehru's time and after has been evaluated without any bias or prejudice. The introduction may be studied also as a well-researched study of India's foreign policy as propounded and set in motion by Nehru.

Shri Attar Chand's work contains writings by some eminent persons who have lived and worked with Nehru for years. The book provides the readers with a historical perspective of Nehru's world order.

Foreword
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the symbol of hope and aspirations of the people of the country. He was the most lovable, friendly, affable, compassionate and forgiving person who respected human dignity.

In Nehru, people saw a leader who understood them and in whose hand their future was safe. Nehru was one of the precious possessions of India whose personality was charismatic.

I am sure the new generation can draw inspiration from Nehru, who guided the country to the path of modernization.

Nehru was a Bharat Ratna in the true sense of the term who set up the Planning Commission for bringing about economic democracy, encouraged balanced regional development and developed scientific temper by setting up a large number of national laboratories and got the country engaged in exploitation of atomic energy and oil wealth. He tried to bring about world peace by organizing Non-Aligned Movement.

Introduction
On November 14, 1989 the world will celebrate the birth centenary of one of its greatest sons. The very name evokes sublime sentiments in people of all walks of life throughout India, to whom he bequeathed noble ideals and legacy of service. He is a legendary figure whom the international community held in high esteem for his contributions in bringing the countries together.

Jawaharlal Nehru did lay firm foundations of the independent India, and it was he who gave a new direction and dimension to rebuilding India on planned and scientific lines. A man of immense sacrifices and love for the country and the people, Nehru correctly comprehended the needs of modern India and laid, with great vision, a base for national development and international amity. He was a nationalist to the core with an international understanding.

Once Nehru said: "To serve India in the battle of freedom is honour enough. To serve her under a leader like Mahatma Gandhi is doubly fortunate. But to suffer for the dear country; what greater good fortune could befall an Indian unless it be death for the cause or the full realisation of our glorious dream." In India mass movements for freedom began in 1919. Jawaharlal Nehru is one of those who spent the longest terms in Jail-3,262 days. Sixty years ago, in the twenties, Nehru declared that "free India may be worthy of a place in the coming order of things". These were prophetic words.

Emperor Ashoka has been described as the greatest king in the world. He proclaimed that the only true conquests were those of peace.
