๐ง ✊ Faith, politics, and power - questioned and challenged.
๐ง Chapters 47 & 48 from Nehru’s Autobiography
๐ 47: What Is Religion?
As Gandhi fasted against separate electorates, Nehru admired the moral force but questioned the method.
He critiques organized religion for promoting fear, dogma, and control.
๐ Nehru’s ideal: a rational, ethical philosophy grounded in truth - not ritual or hierarchy.
๐ 48: The ‘Dual Policy’ of the British Government
Nehru exposes British hypocrisy:
⚖️ Claiming neutrality, but obstructing reform.
He denounces the Indian Liberals for appeasing colonial power and defends Congress’s principled resistance as the only path to real justice and self-rule.
๐ง Listen to Nehru take on religion, reason, and empire - with fierce clarity.
