My dear children,
I like , being with children and talking to them and, even
more , playing with them .
For a moment , I forget that I terribly old and that
it is a very long time ago since I was a
child .
I do not want to give you a string of good advice as to what you should do and what you should
not do . I suppose you have enough of this from your teachers
If you were with me , I would love to talk to you about this beautiful world of ours ,
about flowers and trees and birds and animals and stars and mountains and
glaciers and all the other wonderful things that surround us in this world .
I hope , you will be more sensible and open your eyes and
ears to this beauty and life that
surround you. Can you recognize the
flowers by their names and birds by their singing ? How
easy is to make friends with them and with everything in nature, if you go to
them affectionately and with friendship!
You must have read
many fairy tales and stories in the past
. But the world itself is the greatest
fairy tale and story of adventure that
has ever been written . Only we must
have eyes to see and ears to hear and a mind that opens out to the life and beauty of the world .
I have recently been to the united states of America ,
canada and England . I found the children there very like the children here
and so I easily made friends with them
and whenever I had the chance , I
played with them a little. That’s was much more
intresting than many of my talks with the grownups who imagine
they are very different and deliberately
make themselves so.
Some months ago , the children of japan wrote to me and ask me to send them an
elephant. I sent them a beautiful
elephant on behalf of the children of india . This elephant came from Mysore and travelled
all the way by japan . when it
reached Tokyo , thousands of
children came to see it Many of them had
never seen an elephant .
So we must also
think of their country and of many
other countries in the world and
re
Member that everywhere there are children like you going to school and play . sometimes
quarelling but always making friends
again . you can read about these
countries in your book and
when you grow up , many of you will
visit them . Go there as friends and you will find friends to greet you.
As I write , I think of the vast army of children all over the world , outwardly different in many ways ,
speaking different languages , wearing
different kinds of clothes and yet so
very like another . if you bring them together , they play or quarrel. But even
their quarelling is some kind of play .
They do not think of differences among
themselves.
Adventure, Wonder and
Discovery
Our country is a little world in itself , with an infinite
variety of places for us to discover . I
have travelled a great deal in the country
and I have grown in years I wish
I had more time , so that I could visit all the nooks and corners of india.I
would like to go there in the company of bright young children whose minds
are opening out with wonder and curiosity.
I would like them to
discover for themselves that they can play about
in the snow in some parts of india and also see the other places where tropical forests flourish . Such a trip with children would be
a voyage of discovery of the beautiful trees of our forests and hillsides and
the flowera that grace the changing
seasons and bring life and colour
to us.
Children should be wiser .
At any rate, I hope the children
who read this , will be more sensible.
November , 1958
Written By Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru(First Prime Minister Of India )
