His leadership during India's early years involved strengthening parliamentary institutions, advocating for evidence-based thinking, and emphasizing national unity amid diversity. Nehru's writings, including The Discovery of India, reflect his vision of India as a pluralistic nation rooted in history yet committed to modernity and democratic values.
