This book unfolds the story of India’s foreign policy in the words of Jawaharlal Nehru, who has given it the present shape. He emphasizes that this policy is not of his own making, but is rooted in the nation’s geography, history and culture. The underlying theme of the book is freedom, peace and the unity of the world. It is a compilation of Nehru’s speeches on India’s foreign policy. The speeches go beyond a mere exposition of India’s relationship with other countries. They are the thoughts of a man whose quest is peace and the well-being of mankind.
