Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964)
The great nationalist leader and Indias first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal
Nehru, was sent to England at the age of 16 to be educated at Harrow School and
Trinity College, Cambridge. At Cambridge he assumed the guise of a fashionable
young Englishman, playing tennis, rowing and developing a taste for gambling.
When he became profligate with his money, his father forced him to move from
comfortable rooms in town to more humble lodgings in Whewells Court, which he
described as probably the rottenest rooms in the whole college.
Not particularly distinguished as a scholar, Nehru was extremely shy. As a
member of the Cambridge debating team, he was fined on a number of occasions
for not speaking in debates for an entire term.
On graduating from Cambridge, Nehru returned to India where he rose to become
the political leader of the Indian National Congress Party in its struggle for
independence from Britain. After independence he served as Indias first Prime
Minister from 1947 to 1964.
