## Bio

The son of a prominent nationalist lawyer, Nehru was educated at Harrow and Cambridge, trained as a barrister, then returned to India where national politics consumed him. He rose through the Indian National Congress in the 1920s with Gandhi's backing, called for complete independence as Congress president in 1929, and led the party to sweep the 1937 provincial elections. After years in British prisons—including a stretch following the 1942 Quit India movement—he emerged to find Muslim League power ascendant under Jinnah and partition looming. Sworn in as prime minister on 15 August 1947 after delivering his "Tryst with Destiny" speech, Nehru spent the next sixteen years building parliamentary democracy, championing secular pluralism, and founding the Non-Aligned Movement to keep India out of superpower camps. He won three consecutive elections and died in office from a heart attack in 1964.
