Within 12 days of #JawaharlalNehru's imprisonment in Nabha jail, his father Motilal Nehru wrote an apology to the British to secure his release.
This was the only ONE time Nehru was kept in a REAL jail & couldn't even last for a fortnight!

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'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"

1930 Salt Satyagraha - The truth abt Nehru's 'solitary confinement'
Nehru the 'A-class prisoner' had special privileges. He could meet visitors, write & receive 1 letter every 15 days & was allowed to sleep outside his cell. Servants to work the fan & sweets/fruits from home too

Nehru's 'isolation was never complete' & he had numerous ppl attending to him
Servants came for daily 'darshan' & to discuss 'swaraj'! Convicts gave him flowers & fan coolies gave him mangoes
"One in a thousand" in his own words Nehru admits that he was privileged

Post the 1st month, in which Nehru already had a stream of visitors in his alleged 'solitary confinement', he was given a companion Narmada Prasad Singh.
Two & a half months later his father & Syed Mahmud too joined him.

As we pay tributes to the great freedom fighter #VeerSavarkar its pertinent to recall Rahul'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 'solitary confinement' at Naini?
