Summary

During his nearly two-year sojourn in Europe between 1926 and 1927, Nehru became deeply involved in the politics of the League against Imperialism, and his work as an executive council member firmly established him as a pivotal partner in the international struggle against empires. This chapter brings together Nehru’s sources from this period with newly opened archival documents from British colonial intelligence files and the Communist International papers. It illuminates the once unknown activities of Nehru during this critical year as he traveled in the service of the League against Imperialism to Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Paris and Moscow. It argues that Nehru’s anti-imperialist worldview rooted in Brussels had been significantly strengthened by his LAI service.
