520			_aAbout the book: Letters from a Father to His Daughter is a compelling series of letters penned by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, to his young daughter, Indira Gandhi, who would herself later become a pivotal political figure in India. Written in 1928, during Nehru's incarcerations in British-run India, these insightful letters were his way to educate his 10-year-old daughter about the world's history and the complexities of nature and society. This collection not only unveils the rich tapestry of human civilization, from its nascent stages to the intricate socio-political realities of the 20th century but also serves as a testament to the poignant bond between a father imprisoned for his political beliefs and his daughter, far away from him. Through these letters, Nehru fosters not just the intellect and curiosity of his child but also roots for a deep-seated emotional connection, making this book a treasure trove that offers wisdom across generations.
