Can a single man shape a nation’s identity?
Nehru The Invention Of India by Shashi Tharoor is a crisp, insightful biography of Jawaharlal Nehru — India’s first Prime Minister and one of its most complex historical figures. Far from a dry political account, this book blends history, ideology, and personal narrative to paint a vivid portrait of the man who imagined India as a secular, democratic republic in the face of colonial legacy and internal division.
Tharoor examines Nehru’s Western education, deep commitment to Indian nationalism, and close relationship with Mahatma Gandhi — all while critically engaging with his contradictions. From championing science and socialism to his missteps on Kashmir and China, Nehru’s strengths and flaws are laid out with balance and honesty.
What makes this biography truly special is Tharoor’s ability to connect Nehru’s ideas with modern India. The book argues that much of today’s India — its institutions, its pluralism, its ambitions — still reflect Nehru’s vision, for better or worse.
