ABSTRACT
Nehru entered into active politics in the wake of World War I, and during the years which followed he studied the problems which faced the peacemakers. It is only since 1947 that Nehru has found himself in a position to work for peace. For a moment, as Nehru thought of the prospects of peace while the war was ending, he felt somewhat pessimistic. People lived continually in the midst of an international crisis; but perhaps a greater crisis confronted the world—the crisis in the spirit of man. Pacts and alliances make governments military-minded, and the problems of the day are considered through military phraseology or military approaches. One more threat to peace arises from the idea of so-called strong action. There has always been a passion among nations to dominate others. Future peace largely depends on the problem of armament, and Nehru hopes to perform ‘a very important task’ in that direction.
