This article briefly discusses the book "Toward Freedom: The Autobiography of Jawaharlal Nehru," by John Day. "Toward Freedom" touches upon every issue of Indian life and politics. Nehru has spent most of his adult life in British Indian jails; he has experienced the lathee blows of the British police and the legal persecutions of British Indian courts. He has seen the deliberate stirring up of communal feeling for imperial purposes. Yet for all his personal and often painful involvement in the sorrows and trials of his people the total effect of his book is one of serenity and objectivity.
