Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru (b 1889) was a leader in India's struggle for independence from Britain and later Germany. Unlike his colleague, Mohandas Gandhi, Nehru recognized the inherent immorality of Nazism which allowed it to prove remarkably resistant to the non-violent pressures of Satyagraha. Nehru urged Indian nationalists to adopt violent resistance tactics against the Germans, but Gandhi refused to do so, a decision which cost him his life.
