Some are born to be great, while some have greatness thrust upon them through destiny and one such leader whom even I appreciate and whose life has casted profound impact on me is Jawaharlal Nehru. I wrote a small piece or paragraph when I was a kid and now my kid has to write an essay on Jawaharlal Nehru. The best way is to first pick most important points related to his life and work done by him and then start writing the essay going with the flow. Some areas which you can cover while writing about him are his birth and parentage, education, political career, work as Prime Minister and finally his demise.
