The country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru died on 27 May 1964. Jawaharlal Nehru was not only the first Prime Minister of India, but he was also the architect of the position in which India stands today. Nehru was a far-sighted and skilled politician. Obviously, no person is completely right. Nehru also made some mistakes in history, but this does not mean that he did nothing for India. Actually, when India became independent, at that time we did not even have grains to eat. At that time Nehru took over the chair of the Prime Minister. Despite there being many challenges, Nehru faced all the challenges. In simple words, the foundation of today’s India was laid by Jawaharlal Nehru. In such a situation, today on his death anniversary, we are going to tell you an amazing story related to Nehru.
Dacoits stopped Nehru’s jeep
Actually this story is of the time when Nehru was going on a tour of Chambal. At that time the entire area of Chambal was in the United Province. This is before independence. During this time Nehru used to travel to different parts of the country and was working to unite Indians against the British rule. This was the year 1937. Nehru was returning from Chambal in his jeep. During this time, his jeep was captured by the dacoits of the ravines. Pandit Nehru was not unaware of the ravines of Chambal and the dacoits here. Let us tell you that the number of dacoits who stopped Nehru’s car was 8-10. All the dacoits came and stood in front of his car. However, the dacoits had no idea whose car they had captured.
The dacoits had a misunderstanding and mistook Nehru for Dhanna Seth
The dacoits thought that the person going in the jeep was a rich party. Actually, only the rich had jeeps at that time. This is why this doubt arose in the minds of the dacoits. Meanwhile, a voice came from the bushes asking who is it… The person calling was the leader of the dacoits. The dacoits said that he was some rich man. Hearing this, the leader of the dacoits came out. But by then Nehru and the people in the jeep with him had understood that the dacoits had mistaken him for some rich man. It was necessary to break this myth. Therefore, Jawaharlal Nehru himself got down from the jeep and went to the leader of the dacoits.
When the dacoit gave money to Nehru
After meeting the leader of the dacoits, Jawaharlal Nehru said that I am Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Hearing this, silence spread in the ravines. After this, the leader’s eyes which were filled with plunder, started to feel guilty. Jawaharlal Nehru asked the dacoit to tell him quickly what we have to do, because we have to go far away. After this, the leader of the rebels put his hand in his coat pocket and took out a handful of notes and gave them to Nehru. During this, the leader of the dacoits said that I had heard a lot about you. Today I got to see you. Please accept our small gift for the work of Swaraj (swaraj). After this, the news spread like fire in Chambal that Jawaharlal Nehru had met a dacoit.
