Nehru on the problem of Daliths.( Glimpses of World History).
In the same way the higher-caste Hindus, especially in the south, exploited the so-called “depressed” class, who were mostly workers on the land. The problem of the depressed classes has been very much before us recently, and especially since Bapu’s fast. Untouchability has been attacked all along the front, and hundreds of temples and other places have been thrown open to these classes. But right down at the bottom of the question is this economic exploitation, and unless this goes, the depressed classes will remain depressed. The untouchables have been agricultural serfs who were not allowed to own land. They had other disabilities also.

A GREAT QUOTATION FROM NEHRU:
"Feudalism, capitalism,socialism,syndicalism, anarchism,communism...so many isms! AND BEHIND THEM ALL STALKS OPPORTUNISM! But there is also IDEALISM for those who care to have it! Not the idealism of empty fancies and imagination run riot, but the idealism of working for a great human purpose. "

NEHRU ON CHRIST & CHRISTIANITY ( GLIMPSES..)
Jesus talked a strange language of revolt against existing conditions and the social order. In particular he was against the rich and the hypocrites who made of religion a matter of certain observances and ceremonial

Nehru ..Discovery of India...about the prospect of Japanese Invasion into India in Second World War.
==========================================.
.." Vast numbers would die, that was inevitable...but it is better to die in war than through famine. It is better to die than to live a miserable, hopeless life. Out of death, life is born afresh. Individuals and Nations who do not know how to die, do not know how to live also!
" ONLY WHERE THERE ARE GRAVES, ARE THERE RESURRECTIONS"

quote from Nehruji's Glimpses of World History on Vivekananda
------------------------------------------------------------------------
He once wrote "I am a socialist..not beacuse I believe it is the perfect system but half a loaf is better than no bread,The other systems have been tried and found wanting,Let this one be tried".
Vivekanada grew more International in outlook." Even in politics and Sociology, problems that were only national twenty years back, can no longer be solved on national grounds only.but only on international grounds.International organizations, International laws and international combinations are the cry of the day" says Vivekanand
