MOTILAL NEHRU |

Difference
of opinion between father and son
Jawaharlal returned from abroad; he brought with him a political storm too. Father and son
used to exchange views. The son was fiery. The father was moderate in his approach.
Jawaharlal's stand was radical. No country should be a slave to another; there should be
no slavery anywhere in the world; all countries should live in freedom -this was Jawahar
stand. India should have freedom in internal matters, but should remain within
the British Empire, argued Motilal. There were frequent debates between the two.
Sometimes the debate would be quite hot and sometimes mild. The father feared that his son
might support violence. The mother Swaroop Rani was afraid that the angry father might
expel the son. Naturally Kamala was worried. The children were scared. The happy
atmosphere of Anad Bhavan had been true to its name, but for some time it was disturbed.
