⛓️📜 Another Prison Term. A Wider Lens on Global Democracy | Chapters 59 & 60 of Nehru's "Autobiography"

 ⛓️📜 Another prison term. A wider lens on global democracy.

🎧 Chapters 59 & 60 of Nehru’s Autobiography 

📘 59: Alipore Gaol
Nehru recalls the mental and physical ordeal of his seventh imprisonment.
From trial to confinement in Alipore Jail, he describes the monotonous, dehumanizing prison routines under constant surveillance.
Even in despair, he finds fleeting peace in nature and reflects on the moral costs of colonial oppression.

📘 60: Democracy in East and West
Writing from jail, Nehru contrasts Europe’s self-professed love for democracy with its imperial autocracy abroad.
He condemns fascism, racism, and the colonial denial of freedom in India.
He argues for a universal, inclusive democracy... beyond the hypocrisy of Western power politics.

🎧 Listen to Nehru’s voice from behind bars... sharp, reflective, and unyielding.
