"Little one, may you grow up into a brave soldier in India�s service!"

Nehru the statesman, constantly in and out of jail in India's struggle for Independence, is continually separated from his shy, intellectual daughter Indira Priyadarshini in the turmoil of building a country.

They forge the bonds of a loving, nurturing and formative relationship through their detailed, prolific letters to each other.

"I felt compelled to write this story because I could not find a parallel in the Western world of a statesman father who nurtured his daughter in such a way."
