Abstract

This research paper aims to explore and analyse the differences and similarities in the interpretations of Jawaharlal Nehru's role in Indian history by both Imperial and Marxist historians. By examining key historiographical works from both perspectives, the paper seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of Nehru's legacy as the first Prime Minister of India, his contribution to the Indian freedom struggle, and his role in shaping the nation's political and socio-economic structure. The analysis will also address the underlying motivations and biases of each historical perspective to elucidate a more nuanced understanding of Nehru's contributions to Indian history.
