Nehru's 75,000-page archive opens to public

Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, left behind a huge collection of letters, speeches, and other documents.

These papers, totaling 75,000 pages, have been digitized and made available to the public.

Professor Madhavan K Palat, who worked on this project, says that Nehru was very open and honest in his writings.

The archive includes letters to important figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, as well as speeches and photographs.

This collection helps us understand how Nehru thought and made decisions that shaped India.

The papers are now easy to access online, making it simpler for students, researchers, and anyone interested to learn more about this key figure in Indian history.
