Kashmir Rechords remembers Nehru through rare pictures

( By: Kanwal Krishan Lidhoo)

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday falls on November 14 and the day is every year celebrated as Children’s Day.  As the first Prime Minister of the Independent India (1947–64), Nehru established the Parliamentary government and became noted for his nonaligned policies in foreign affairs.

Nehru has been a multi-dimensional personality—a  Prime Minister, a writer, a historian,  a socialist and  above all from Kashmir ancestry. Even if he is criticised for some reasons, including the so-called Kashmir mess,  but the fact is that  Nehru played a leading role in the development of the internationalist outlook of the Indian Independence struggle.

While much has already been debated, deliberated and  written on Nehru, Kashmir Rechords from its archives,   in its humble way,  is producing some of the rare pictures of Jawahar Lal Nehru  as a tribute to this great leader on his 134th birth anniversary.
