Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you well. I have an important update regarding my latest poetry book, "The Discovery of India." The rest of this message was written using A.I.
To be perfectly honest, I don't understand what the big deal is about "The Discovery of India" by Jawaharlal Nehru. Tbh, it is just a badly written history book, lol. And, yes, that is an expert opinion, given that I have even worked a little bit in the area of history.
Here is what the Wikipedia entry for this book says.
Nehru attributes some of the content of the book to his fellow prisoners at Ahmednagar jail. He gives special mention to four of them namely Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Govind Ballabh Pant, Narendra Deva and Asaf Ali. All his fellow prisoners (eleven of them) were political prisoners from various parts of the country, having deep knowledge about the various aspects of India which the book discusses.
It is worth noting that none of his collaborators were professional historians. It is also worth noting that Nehru simply did not have access to the volumes of digital information we now have access to, thanks to the Internet. It is very easy to be impressed when someone is able to churn out a book running to more than 500 pages, especially when said individual is working from a prison. The real question one should ask, however, if the book is any good, historically speaking, and if it is accurate. I don't think that this book meets any of the high bars for quality that writing on history demands. Sorry but that is the truth.
C'est peut-être simplement que ce livre offense mon sens de la vérité, de la beauté et de l'élégance. Maybe it is just me. Maybe it is just that this book offends my Francophone sense of truth, beauty and elegance, especially as I think about some of this stuff while writing in French. It just hurts my brain. There is just something truly lacking in terms of elegance in this book. And something lacking in terms of truth and beauty as well.
Best regards,
Anand
