This official correspondence of the first Prime Minister of India describes the condition of independent India in the mid-1950s, a climacteric decade marked by seminal policy initiatives and the emerging role of the Republic of India on the world stage as a leader of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War. Nehru was one of the foremost architects of modern India and the policies he adopted in the 1950s left a legacy which endures even today. The volume portrays the evolution and development of the new nation in various fields and describes Nehru's vision of a "New India" and his remarkable role in nation-building activities. The volume offers glimpses of the day-to-day concerns which demanded Nehru's attention and the evolution of Nehruvian policies in the economic, social, political, and cultural arenas, as well as the formulation of India's foreign policy and bi-lateral relations with neighbouring countries.
