Motilal Nehru, Jawaharlal's father, was rich as a prince and owed his status and prestige to colonial rulers.
It was Nehru who forced Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi to demand complete political freedom, not merely dominion status within the British Empire, which was the Congress' demand until 1929.
There was no promise of a personal 'reward' for taking on the British Empire, there was no promise of prime ministership for spending 10 prime years of his life in jail while his wife suffered from tuberculosis and died, nor for missing the growing years of his daughter.

 Rediff On The NeT: Rajeev Srinivasan finds Jawaharlal Nehru severely over-rated
Vijayan, with his novelist's insight, has captured the essence of what was wrong with Nehru: he lived an illusion -- the discoveries of India that he thought he made and the glimpses of world history that he thought he had seen were mere mirages.
In fact, I think, in the dynasty, the genius was Motilal, a self-made millionaire and visionary; Jawaharlal was an impractical dreamer; Indira was a street-smart fighter; Rajiv an average Joe who had power thrust on him.
Nehru isolated India from the world economy, and that is why India didn't suffer from Asia's crash of 1998.
