First Prime Minister of India
On August 15, 1947 India made its tryst with destiny. Jawaharlal Nehru was sworn in as the first Minister of Free India in Red Fort by Lord Mountbatten. What is the significance of the word 'Free' here. Were their other PMs (or Heads of Government of India) before?
The natural answer to the question is Yes! After all you are at Masala History, not a history textbook influenced by politics. So, who were the Prime Ministers before Aug 15 1947? And were they legitimately recognised? Who was the first?
Was it Jawaharlal Nehru himself?
Or was it Subash Chandra Bose?
Or someone else?
Today's episode is journey of the first Head of Government of India. A brave patriot who traveled across the globe enlisting support for India's freedom struggle. Exiled for 25+ years. A Nobel peace prize nominee. And someone who pulled off a brilliant win on another tall leader in Parliament elections after Independence.
Take an Independence Day walk with me by listening to the history (with patriotic fervour) of a forgotten Indian leader who gave everything up for our country's liberation.
Happy Independence Day, India.
