""Independence and After: A Collection of Speeches, 1946-1949"" is a book written by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, that compiles a series of speeches he delivered in the years leading up to and immediately following India's independence from British colonial rule in 1947. The book provides a firsthand account of the political and social climate of the time, as well as the struggles and challenges faced by the Indian people during this period of transition. Nehru's speeches touch on a wide range of topics, including democracy, nationalism, economic development, foreign policy, and social justice. Through his speeches, Nehru expresses his vision for a modern, secular, and democratic India, and his commitment to building a nation that is free, prosperous, and just. The book provides a valuable insight into the mind of one of the most influential leaders of the Indian independence movement and a key figure in shaping the future of India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
