Description:A Lamp for India is the inspiring biography of Madame Pandit - a personal chronicle of the growing up of the Nehru family and India in this century.As a young girl, Madame Pandit watched her brother Nehru follow Gandhi's leadership against India's oppressive rule. Each time the lamp went out in India's life - the deaths of Gandhi, Nehru and Shastri - she helped to lead her country to independence and sovereignty. She relit the lamp each time until ultimately she saw her niece Indira Gandhi become India's Prime Minister.This timely and authoritative book provides a firsthand account of the only woman to serve as the president of the United Nations, one who helped guide it in development and decision-making. At home, it was she who rivaled Shastri for political control after Nehru's death. Here, also, is revealed the emergence of India through poverty, political strife and the political voice of women carried by Madame Pandit to London, Red China, Moscow, and to the United States.Woven throughout the text are personal glimpses and observations of the men and women who helped shape India's history - Gandhi, Nehru, Shastri and Indira Gandhi. Mr. Andrews projects his study of the Indian people and their relationship to history with close-ups of such other influential figures as Krishna Menon and John Foster Dulles.
