 Chapter 15: DOUBT AND CONFLICT

Nehru grapples with political and personal uncertainty, questioning aspects of Gandhi’s program while remaining loyal. Disillusioned with both Swarajists and No-changers, he observes factionalism weakening Congress. Financially dependent on his father after quitting law, he chooses unpaid public service, struggling with constraints but staying committed to the cause.

Chapter 16: AN INTERLUDE AT NABHA

Arrested while observing the Sikh Akali protest in 1923, Nehru endures prison hardships, unfair trials, and fabricated charges. Though sentenced to two years, he is unexpectedly released and expelled. His ordeal exposes the oppressive rule in princely states and leaves him physically weakened by typhoid.
