"In India there came a man in our own generation who inspired us to great endeavour, ever reminding us that thought and action should never be divorced from moral principle, that the true path of man is the path of truth and peace. Under his guidance we laboured for the freedom of our country, with ill will to none, and achieved that freedom. We called him reverently and affectionately the Father of our Nation. Yet he was too great for the circumscribed borders of any one country, and the message he gave may well help us in considering the wider problems of the world."
- Prime Minister Nehru on Mahatma Gandhi
Nehru made this praise of Gandhi, during his speech to the Congress of the United States on 13 October 1949. Gandhi is widely revered as the father of the Indian nation.
