Pt. Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India expresses his deep gratitude to the people of India for their love and affection. He admits the non-repayment of this affection. He promises not to be unworthy of his people: and that he would never forget their love and affection. Nehru says when he dies, his body should be cremated. In case he dies in a foreign country, his body should be cremated there but there but his ashes must be sent to India. He wills that a handful of these be thrown into the Ganga and the rest be scattered over the fields of India. He does not want any portion of his ashes to be preserved or retained. Nehur says that he has no religious sentiments behind his desire of dipping his ashed into the Ganga at Allahabad. The only cause of this will is his attachment to the river since his childhood. And this attachment has grown with the elapse of time. Nehru calls Ganga the river of India. The people of India love her beyond measure. The Ganga reminds him of the snow covered peaks of the Himalayas, deep valleys and the vast plains below. It has been a symbol of India’s age-long culture and civilization. It looks smiling and dancing in the morning sunlight. It looks dark, gloomy and mysterius in the evening. It looks narrow, slow and graceful in the winter. It looks flooded in monsoon. To meit has been a symbol of India in the days of yore. It is running into present and flowing onto the great ocean of the future. Nehur wished India to cast off the rigid past traditions and customs. They hinder her progress and divide her people. They check the free development of their body and spirit. He does not wish to discand the past of India completely. On the other hand he is proud of India’s cultural heritage. He seeks inspiration from it. As his last homage to her, he wishes that a handful of his ashed must be thrown into the Ganga so that they might be drifted to the ocean that washed India’s shores. He further wished that the major portion of his ashes must be scattered over the fields of India so that they might became an inseparable part of India.
