About the Book

Nehru’s Luminous Legacy, The Jawaharlal Nehru University: Fifty Years and Thereafter, reminisces the pathways that led to the glorious existence of the University by its alumni. This book presents reminiscences by thirty-seven scholars with a tinge of personal touch about the various stages of development of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in the first five decades as a successful model for higher education in India and an institution of high-quality intellectual development and international reputation by implementing Nehru’s vision of education. The reminscences of the Jhola Wallahs three decades ago have the zeal, fire and honesty. JNU is Nehru’s abiding legacy as a world-class higher education institution committed to intellectual freedom, critical thinking, a democratic public space., international academic exchange, and onward search for knowledge for the betterment of human beings. JNU stands different in its academic culture and commitment to social justice, social welfare, citizens education and nation-building. The book reminds us of the strength of Nehruvian values and the old admission policy that brought up several intellectuals of standing who contributed greatly to the nation’s development. R.R. Sharma is the former Professor of the Centre for Russian and Central Asian Studies (formerly Centre for Soviet and East European Studies) (1973-2006) and former Dean of the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He served as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Jammu (1996-2002). Professor Sharma has immensly contributed to academics through his publications and other commitments. The Government of Jammu & Kashmir honoured him with the Gold Medal and Cash Award for Eminent Personalities of Jammu & Kashmir State for his precious service as an educationist to the nation in 2002 and 2006. Prof. Sharma served as President of the JNU Teacher’s Association.
