What did Jawaharlal Nehru truly think about Indian civilisation, culture and religion? In this episode of Terms of Engagement, historian Professor Madhavan Palat editor of the Collected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru takes us inside Nehru’s writings and speeches. Together, we explore his views on caste, Islam, secularism, and how he imagined modern India, while also showing how anyone can navigate Nehru’s vast online archive for themselves.
