n this extract from Glimpses of World History, Nehru acknowledges the vastness of knowledge and the challenges of specialization. And then he discusses individuals who have risen over such narrow focus and can see human knowledge in its entirety. For example, he discusses Albert Einstein's groundbreaking work, particularly the Theory of Relativity, and its experimental confirmation during a solar eclipse.

 

Jawaharlal Nehru reminds women of their ability to achieve great heights in life and encourages them to work for social reform and the progress of the country. This speech from Nehru was read at the convocation ceremony at Prayag Mahila Vidyapitha on 20 January 1934. It was a time when India’s freedom struggle was still going on. In this speech, Nehru makes a case for women’s all-round education. #genderequality #feminism #empowerment #inspiringspeechinhindi #jawaharlalnehru

Jawaharlal Nehru's "Glimpses of World History" is an important history book from a non-Western perspective. This video discusses the history of Palestine and Israel before 1933. In his write-up, Nehru discusses the complex situation in Palestine due to British policies. The promise of a "Jewish National Home" led to conflicts between Jews and Arabs, with British support for the former. Nehru criticizes the British administration for turning Palestine into a de facto colony. This short historical glimpse underscores the economic and political tensions in the region, shedding light on a critical chapter in Middle Eastern history.

 

This video is based on Manish Singh @RebornManish's post on X, "I Haven't Died Yet!!." It reflects on the irony that, at a time when the rejection of Gandhi was being promoted in his homeland, the world saw him as a beacon of truth, tolerance, and humanism. The video is in Hindi with English subtitles.

In this video, I present a summary and translation of  "Life's Philosophy" by Nehruji from the Discovery of India. Despite the uncertainties of the future, Nehru finds hope in the joys and beauty of life. He expresses his belief in the profound human spirit that has helped humans navigate the unknown with dignity and faith for time immemorial. Nehruji quotes Euripides at the end of this chapter. The translation is mine.
