The conditions in the Nabha jail was pathetic.
The British were trying to alter the charge & turn it into one of unlawful assembly which amounted to sedition. Nehru spoke of mighty bravado limited to mere words & his father rescued him out of the prison.

Nehru& #39;s release was secured only because he belonged to a powerful political family.
In his own words Nehru mentions a Sikh who was "not discharged as he had no powerful friends or public interest to help him & like many other person he sank into oblivion of a state prison"

Post the 1st month, in which Nehru already had a stream of visitors in his alleged & #39;solitary confinement& #39;, he was given a companion Narmada Prasad Singh.

As we pay tributes to the great freedom fighter #VeerSavarkar its pertinent to recall Rahul& #39;s speech where he dared to call the great Savarkar a coward
What does Mr Rahul think abt the 12 day sentence of Nehru followed by an apology & the A-class & #39;solitary confinement& #39; at Naini?
