About this listen

 Jawaharlal Nehru wrote the book ‘The Discovery of India’, during his imprisonment at Ahmednagar fort for participating in the Quit India Movement (1942 – 1946). The book was written during Nehru’s four years of confinement to solitude in prison and is his way of paying an homage to his beloved country and its rich culture.

The book started from ancient history, Nehru wrote at length of Vedas, Upanishads and textbooks on ancient time and ends during the British raj. The book is a broad view of Indian history, culture and philosophy, the same can also be seen in the television series. The book is considered as one of the finest writing om Indian History. The television series Bharat Ek Khoj which was released in 1988 was based on this book. Asia India South Asia World

Impossible to follow due to very low volume. Terrible shame. You could raise the volume but then google maps would burst your eardrums.

Very bad Audio. Do Not buy

This is more like a collection of multiple books. Nehru propounds on Indian history, philosophy, the freedom movement, international events, and lays down a vision for free India. Both admirers and detractors might find some of their beliefs about Nehru shaken. Read to understand modern India.

A must read to understand India and Nehru

For anyone who wants to understand the beauty and complexity of India as a nation and as a culture, there is no better place to start her/his quest than THE DISCOVERY OF INDIA.

Pandit Nehru's love for India was always evident. What comes out in grand relief is the depth and breadth of his knowledge, his capacity for honest self-reflection and his unwavering humanism.

The book can be read/heard, not only for its content and great sweep of history, but also for the lyrical and bracing quality of its prose. That Pandit Nehru could not pen any other book after The Discovery of India, because he was busy building a nation, is literature's loss.

I request AUDIBLE and Smt. Sonia Gandhi to bring out other writings of Pandit Nehru's including his many speeches and letters on to the AUDIBLE platform. There is a need for young Indians to listen to the wise words of Jawaharlal Nehru and realise what a towering intellectual and statesman he was. 🙏

A scholarly work of great beauty, humanism and self-reflection.

A must listen for all those, who are open minded. A person called Jawaharlal was so intelligent, well read & farsighted you will come to know through this book. But don't go for Hindi edition of this audible masterpiece. You will miss the very soul of the book.

Intellect shines more in adversity
