THE TALK
Prof Mridula Mukherjee is a renowned historian. She has taught History at the Centre for Historical Studies, JNU, for over four decades. Prof Mukherjee will talk at Manthan Samvaad on “Gandhi-Nehru-Patel: Unity in Diversity”.
This talk takes up some of the examples of the relationship between the three great national leaders, and show how the reality was very different from the currently popular mythology which portrays Nehru as Patel as rivals and even adversaries, and Nehru as the usurper who grabbed the Prime Minister’s chair which rightly belonged to Patel.
