The Discovery of India
The Discovery of India was written by India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru during his imprisonment in 1942-1946 at Ahmednagar. Nehru was jailed for his participation in the Quit India movement along with other Indian leaders, and he used this time to write down his thoughts and learning about India's history. The book is widely regarded as a classic in India, and provides a concise precis of Indian history, philosophy and culture as viewed from the eyes of a liberal Indian fighting for independence of his country.
