ABSTRACT
By the end of 1931, Jawaharlal was behind bars again, arrested on December 26 and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for organising and supporting agrarian agitation in the United Provinces. For him, jail was getting more and more familiar. Once again, he read books, and wrote letters to Indira, his daughter, in the form of essays on history (later published as Glimpses of World History). He was released on August 30, 1933, twelve days early – his mother was seriously ill (she eventually died, after a long illness, in January 1938).
