The Last Letter to IndiraJawaharlal Nehru
Writing letter is a simple activity. But for few it is an intellectual outlet. Jawaharlal Nehru kills the time in prison by writing letters to his daughter Indira. “The Last Letters to Indira”, is a fine example of that kind.
FirstParagraph
![Page 6: 7th feb 2011 2nd internal preparation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555c11f3d8b42ad77e8b4ef2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
This letter was written from Dehradun prison in 1933. He names the letter “last” because he would be released shortly. He did not know what to do after his release. Most of his countrymen were in prison.
SecondParagraph
![Page 7: 7th feb 2011 2nd internal preparation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555c11f3d8b42ad77e8b4ef2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
He brings out world history in his letters. He says that he is neither a historian nor a literary man. He does not enjoy prison life at the same time he is not bored.
Third Paragraph
![Page 8: 7th feb 2011 2nd internal preparation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555c11f3d8b42ad77e8b4ef2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
He says about past, present and future. Past cannot be changed. Future can be shaped by us to some extent. One should learn from history. Half the truth is revealed by the past and the other half is hidden by the future.
FourthParagraph
![Page 9: 7th feb 2011 2nd internal preparation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555c11f3d8b42ad77e8b4ef2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Thought without action is of no use. It should be put into action. People fear the outcome. No life will be interesting without risk.
FifthParagraph
![Page 10: 7th feb 2011 2nd internal preparation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555c11f3d8b42ad77e8b4ef2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Nehru concludes with a verse of Tagore. The former wants to break narrow divisions in Society.

Stanza 1
Because I could not stop for Death--
He kindly stopped for me-- The Carriage held but just Ourselves--
And Immortality.

For only Gossamer, my Gown--My Tippet--only Tulle--

We paused before a House that seemedA Swelling of the Ground--
The Roof was scarcely visible--The Cornice--in the Ground--

Death appears personified in this poem as a courtly lover who gently insists that the speaker put aside both “labor” and “leisure.” He arrives in his carriage, having stopped for her because she could not have stopped for him, and he even submits to a chaperone, “Immortality,” for the length of their outing together.
![Page 20: 7th feb 2011 2nd internal preparation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555c11f3d8b42ad77e8b4ef2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
This death holds no terrors. Their drive is slow, and they pass the familiar sights of the town: fields of grain which gaze at them, the local school and its playground. Even so, the speaker realizes that this is no ordinary outing with an ordinary gentleman caller when they pass the setting sun, “Or rather—He passed Us—.” She realizes that it has grown cold, that she wears only a gossamer gown and a tulle lace cap.
![Page 21: 7th feb 2011 2nd internal preparation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555c11f3d8b42ad77e8b4ef2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Death takes the speaker to her new home, “A Swelling of the Ground,” whose roof is “scarcely visible.” Though centuries have passed since the event, the entire episode, including the speaker's awareness of her death, seems less than a day in length. The poem fuses elements of the secular seduction motif, with elements of the medieval bride-of-Christ tradition, arguable through inclusion of details such as the tippet of a nun's habit.
