In this letter, Nehru explains the evolution of languages, focusing on how the Aryans spread across different regions, causing their language to evolve into distinct languages due to geographic separation and the inability to communicate easily. Despite these differences, many languages still share similarities, indicating that they once belonged to the same linguistic family. Nehru gives examples, like the words for "father" and "mother" in various languages, to illustrate this connection.
He emphasizes the importance of studying languages, as they help us understand our shared history and interconnectedness. Nehru criticizes national pride that leads to thinking one’s country is superior to others, noting that no country is entirely good or bad. He urges the reader to appreciate what is good in every culture and work on improving the bad.
Nehru also highlights the poverty and misery in India, stressing the need to improve the lives of its people. While Indians must work for their country, they should also remember their connection to the wider world, recognizing all people as part of a global family. Ultimately, Nehru advocates for making the world a happier place for everyone.
