Abstract
It is widely believed that Nehru embraced Fabian socialism while studying in Cambridge and London. This is an entirely erroneous impression. His conversion to any form of socialism did not occur until he visited England again in 1927, with a stop in the Soviet Union on the way back. At this time, he became a radical socialist, bordering communist. The chapter amasses a wealth of evidence showing this evolution. In all likelihood, it was during the deliberations of the National Planning Committee of Congress that he began shifting to a more moderate form of socialism, principally because of the pushback by the leading industrialists who were also members of the committee. This shift eventually led him to opt for the mixed economy model in which private and public sectors operated side by side.
