th
Jawaharlal Nehru was born on 14 November, 1889. When he was fifteen years old, his father,
Motilal took him to England. His mother and sister also went with him. Jawaharlal was sent to famous
English school at Harrow. At this school he did not feel very happy. It was the first time that he had been
away from his home and his parents, and he felt home sick. Again there was very little common
between him and the English boys.
The English boys talked about nothing but studies and games, but Jawaharlal, since the days
of the war between Japan and Russia, had been taking a good deal of interest in what was
happening in the world. He read newspapers regularly and kept himself well-informed. Very few of
the English boys did like him. One day a teacher asked the class about the general elections that
were being held then in England. No one was able to give any information except Jawaharlal. This
shows that from his very early age he had began to take interest in the affairs of the world.
