      Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, held progressive and inclusive views on culture, seeing it as a dynamic force that played a crucial role in shaping national identity and fostering social cohesion. Nehru believed that culture encompassed not only traditional arts, literature, and customs but also the values, aspirations, and creative expression of a nation.

      Nehru emphasized the importance of cultural pluralism and diversity, recognizing India's rich tapestry of languages, religions, traditions, and ethnicities as sources of strength and vitality. He championed the idea of "unity in diversity," celebrating India's cultural mosaic while promoting a sense of national unity and solidarity that transcended regional, linguistic, and religious differences.

      Moreover, Nehru viewed culture as a means of social progress and human development, advocating for the democratization of cultural institutions and the promotion of education, literacy, and scientific temper. He believed that a vibrant and inclusive cultural environment was essential for fostering creativity, critical thinking, and social harmony, laying the foundation for a modern and progressive society.

      Furthermore, Nehru was a staunch advocate for the preservation and promotion of India's cultural heritage, recognizing the importance of historical monuments, archaeological sites, and traditional art forms as repositories of national identity and collective memory. He supported initiatives to conserve and showcase India's cultural treasures, such as the establishment of museums, galleries, and cultural institutions, as well as the promotion of cultural tourism and heritage conservation.

      In addition, Nehru saw culture as a bridge between India and the world, promoting cultural exchange, dialogue, and cooperation as a means of fostering global understanding and solidarity. He advocated for India's active participation in international cultural initiatives and forums, recognizing the importance of cultural diplomacy in building bridges of friendship and cooperation with other nations.

      In summary, Jawaharlal Nehru's ideas on culture reflected a progressive and inclusive vision that celebrated India's diversity while promoting national unity, social progress, and global engagement. Nehru viewed culture as a dynamic and transformative force that played a central role in shaping national identity, fostering social cohesion, and promoting human development. His advocacy for cultural pluralism, heritage conservation, and global cultural exchange continues to resonate in contemporary debates about culture, identity, and globalization in India and beyond.
