Nehru, Jawaharlal.
Autograph Quotation Signed.
1945. Autograph quotation signed by the first prime minister of India, before Independence. The quote is from Nehru's autobiography, Toward Freedom:
"There are no supermen or philosopher-kings; there are only frail human beings who cannot help thinking that their own personal good or the advancement of their own ideas is identical to the public good."
Signed in full and dated Nov 27, 1945, prior to his taking office as the first elected leader of independent India. Fine, but for an old crease and three small tack holes (not affecting text). There is an ink spot on the verso (back), which is just visible from the front.
