PREFACE
N
ATiON-building is a long drawn-out process. A nation can be
compared with the human mind. The mind is impacted upon
by various kinds of influences, which are sometimes similar, at
times complement each other and mutually contradictory at some
other point of time. Nation-building is not done by a few prominent
personalities, but it is the nation which shapes these personalities.
Indeed, once moulded, the personality itself exercises its own
impact on the nation. The biggest force that creates history is the
people. Great men are those who guide the people on to the path
of progress. Though the loftiest thoughts lie dormant in books, the
colossal personality of these figures transforms these ideas into
a vehicle of change.
This collection comprises life-sketches of such great personalities
of India, whose thoughts not only influenced the society during
their times but are a source of inspiration for the country even
today. All these great names are indelibly associated with the
honour and identity of our country.
