Дата рождения: 14. Ноябрь 1889
Дата смерти: 27. Май 1964
Джавахарла́л Не́ру — индийский государственный и политический деятель. Один из самых видных политических деятелей мира, был лидером левого крыла индийского национально-освободительного движения. Под наставничеством Махатмы Ганди стал председателем Индийского национального конгресса, а в дальнейшем, после обретения страной независимости 15 августа 1947 года, — первым премьер-министром Индии. Оставался на этом посту вплоть до 27 мая 1964 года, когда умер от сердечного приступа. Отец Индиры Ганди и дед Раджива Ганди, которые были третьим и седьмым премьер-министрами Индии соответственно.
Вступив в должность премьер-министра, во внешней политике Неру занял нейтральную позицию, подразумевающую независимость Индии как от западного, так и от восточного блоков. Ввиду этого он вместе с Гамалом Абдель Насером и Иосипом Брозом Тито принял участие в трёхсторонних консультациях, предшествовавших созданию Движения неприсоединения, объединяющего страны с экономикой, значительно отличающейся от либерального капитализма и советского этатизма. Однако впоследствии он признал, что нейтральная позиция по отношению к международному коммунизму, проводящему агрессивную экспансионистскую политику, была малоэффективна. Нападение Китая на Индию заставило его сблизиться со странами НАТО и отказаться от нейтралитета.
Во внутренней политике Неру был активным сторонником дирижизма, признавая при этом частную инициативу как основной функциональный двигатель для гармоничного экономического и социального развития.
Цитаты Джавахарлал Неру
„We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.“
As quoted in Building A Life Of Value : Timeless Wisdom to Inspire and Empower Us (2005) by Jason A. Merchey, p. 74
„What the mysterious is I do not know. I do not call it God because God has come to mean much that I do not believe in.“
Autobiography (1936; 1949; 1958)
Контексте: What the mysterious is I do not know. I do not call it God because God has come to mean much that I do not believe in. I find myself incapable of thinking of a deity or of any unknown supreme power in anthropomorphic terms, and the fact that many people think so is continually a source of surprise to me. Any idea of a personal God seems very odd to me.
Intellectually, I can appreciate to some extent the conception of monism, and I have been attracted towards the Advaita (non-dualist) philosophy of the Vedanta, though I do not presume to understand it in all its depth and intricacy, and I realise that merely an intellectual appreciation of such matters does not carry one far. <!-- p. 16 (1946)
„War may be unavoidable sometimes, but its progeny are terrible to contemplate. Not mere killing, for man must die, but the deliberate and persistent propagation of hatred and falsehood, which gradually become the normal habits of the people.“
— Jawaharlal Nehru, книга The Discovery of India
The Discovery of India (1946)
Контексте: The world of today has achieved much, but for all its declared love for humanity, it has based itself far more on hatred and violence than on the virtues that make one human. War is the negation of truth and humanity. War may be unavoidable sometimes, but its progeny are terrible to contemplate. Not mere killing, for man must die, but the deliberate and persistent propagation of hatred and falsehood, which gradually become the normal habits of the people. It is dangerous and harmful to be guided in our life's course by hatreds and aversions, for they are wasteful of energy and limit and twist the mind and prevent it from perceiving truth.
„Religion is not familiar ground for me, and as I have grown older, I have definitely drifted away from it. I have something else in its place, something older than just intellect and reason, which gives me strength and hope.“
Letter to Mahatma Gandhi (1933), as quoted in "Nehru's Faith" by Sunil Khilnani, in The New Republic (24 May 2004), p. 27 http://web.archive.org/web/20041022115314/http://www.sais-jhu.edu/pubaffairs/SAISarticles04/Khilnani_NR_052404.pdf
Контексте: Religion is not familiar ground for me, and as I have grown older, I have definitely drifted away from it. I have something else in its place, something older than just intellect and reason, which gives me strength and hope. Apart from this indefinable and indefinite urge, which may have just a tinge of religion in it and yet is wholly different from it, I have grown entirely to rely on the workings of the mind. Perhaps they are weak supports to rely upon, but, search as I will, I can see no better ones.
„I turned inevitably with goodwill towards communism, for, whatever its faults, it was at least not hypocritical and not imperialistic.“
Autobiography (1936; 1949; 1958)
Контексте: I turned inevitably with goodwill towards communism, for, whatever its faults, it was at least not hypocritical and not imperialistic. It was not a doctrinal adherence, as I did not know much about the fine points of Communism, my acquaintance being limited at the time to its broad features. There attracted me, as also the tremendous changes taking place in Russia. But Communists often irritated me by their dictatorial ways, their aggressive and rather vulgar methods, their habit of denouncing everybody who did not agree with them. This reaction was no doubt due, as they would say, to my own bourgeois education and up-bringing. <!-- p. 163
