The talk about the relationship between Nehru and Lady Edwin Mountbatten is not a new thing. Everyone who knows about history and has a deep knowledge of it, would know a little bit about the secret relations between the two, but who allows the Gandhi controversies to go public. The people of Congress have kept such talks away from the public, and have never wanted such things to be a part of public talks. However, despite the care taken by the people of Congress, the thing is in public. The relations mentioned, are now in view of public eye, spreading in the form of a book that anyone can read.
Alex Von Tunzelmann is the author who has written a book and explains the bond between Lady Mountbatten and her husband in a strange way. He explains how Lois Mountbatten, the husband of Lady Edwina played an important role in saving their relationship and encouraging it, making it stronger. People agree that there is no age limit for falling in love. One can fall in love even in old age. The thing that is needed is the connection between the two hearts. What is needed is the mutual understanding and the spiritual connection. This connection was found between Nehru and Edwina, as Edwina says that it was a treasured bond.
Edwina had some affairs in her relationship before as well, but as mentioned by the author, her husband, Louis had been trying to keep the relationship stronger. However, later Edwina had her affair with Nehru, and Nehru was at that time a widower. The thing is that both were empty, and both were seeking love and understanding, and found it with each other.
The author mentions how the two used to write letters to each other on a daily basis, and these letters increased the feeling of love for each other, in each other heart. The deepness of their love and relationship increased with the letters. The strange thing is that Edwina entrusted these love letters to her husband. Those letters were passed on, and people started learning about these. It is said that Jinnah even got these letters. The letters were discussed by some people. It is said that Jinnah even discussed them with Fatima, and later concluded that the letters be returned to whom they belong.
Moreover, Nehru and Edwina once stayed in the mountainous foothills of Nainital. A man was sent to entertain these guests, who saw the two together. However, he never discussed it with anybody. Such stories have always been going on, but none of them actually was known to the public.
The love between Edwina and Jawaharlal was so great that when even Jawaharlal travelled to any part of the world, he sent gifts to Edwina from there. For instance, he sent cigarettes from Egypt, sugar from the US and a book of pictures from the temple of Sun in Orissa.
Edwina died in 1960 and left nothing but some letters that were her most precious belongings. It is said that she was probably reading the letters when she died. She is known to have died of heart failure.
