Pandit Nehru, who spent his time as PM fathering bastard sons on strange women and eventually died of syphilis, could by no stretch of the imagination have created the Indian Union.

Tharoor presents an uncomplicated overview of Nehru's life that is, with rare exceptions, an admiring one.
True, the author admits, Nehru hung on to power too long, dying in harness in 1964, but the ledger definitely is positive in Tharoor's accounting.
Tharoor confines his opinions to asides, however, and directly narrates Nehru's personal chronology: his education in England; his arranged marriage and attachment to daughter Indira; and, naturally, his political relationships during the protests of the 1920s and 1930s and the negotiations of 1945-47 that eventuated in such tragedy.
