In the interview when Mr. Nehru is asked “Why there is so little resentment toward the British in view of the past history,” Mr. Nehru responded saying “We don’t, I suppose hate for long or intensively, but chiefly I think because the background Mr. Gandhi gave all these past decades.”
In a follow-up question, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru was asked, he himself was prisoned for 16 years and he did not seem to be having any resentment.”
“I think it’s a good thing for a person to go to prison for a short while,” Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru replied.
