This paper examines Jawaharlal Nehru's contribution as a historian, through the lens of D.D. Kosambi's critique. Kosambi argued that Nehru's writings were inaccurate and biased, focusing on the Muslim League as the primary threat to Indian independence, while ignoring the real threat from a bourgeois coalition. Kosambi also criticized Nehru's writings for being romantic and idealistic, and for not accurately reflecting India's complex history. Kosambi argued that Nehru had made a mistake in focusing on the Muslim League as the primary threat to Indian independence, and that the real threat came from a bourgeois coalition. Kosambi also argued that Nehru's writings were romantic and idealistic and did not accurately reflect India's complex history. Despite these criticisms, Nehru's writings are still valued for their insight and clarity. He was able to present the history of his country in readable prose that was full of impressions from his travels. Overall, Nehru's writings are a valuable contribution to the study of history and politics.
