 27: Thunder in the Air

As political unrest grew in late 1929, Nehru sensed a shift from passive constitutionalism to a fervent demand for independence. Revolutionary acts, labor unrest, and Gandhi’s mass appeal stirred the nation. Despite internal divisions and state repression, Nehru took on Congress leadership amid rising expectations, navigating ideological rifts within both nationalist and labor movements.

28: Independence and After
At the historic 1929 Lahore Congress, Nehru presided over the declaration of complete independence. He reflects on the emotional weight of this moment, his mixed feelings about leadership and fame, and the personal conflicts behind his public image. Action, he concludes, remained his refuge amidst self-doubt and the nation's call for freedom.
