Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948) and Jawaharlal Nehru (1889–1964)
View through CrossRef
These two were the furthest apart in age, ideology, and importance to the revolutionary process. Gandhi developed the revolutionary strategy and most of the tactics, and he was the undisputed leader of the mass movement. Though they had a close relationship, like uncle and nephew, they diverged widely on several key issues, notably Gandhi’s fasts. Nevertheless, Nehru always drew back from the brink of a schism, and he regularly acceded to Gandhi’s plans. Shortly after independence, Gandhi was assassinated and Nehru led India forward.
