“Little one, may you grow up into a brave soldier in India’s service!”
Nehru the statesman, constantly in and out of jail in India’s struggle for Independence, is continually separated from his shy, intellectual daughter Indira Priyadarshini in the turmoil of building a country.
They forge the bonds of a loving, nurturing and formative relationship through their detailed, prolific letters to each other.
