This original issue of Time Magazine, dated August 24, 1942, features Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s prominent independence leader and future Prime Minister, on the cover. Published shortly after the launch of the Quit India Movement, this issue captures a critical moment in the Indian struggle for independence from British colonial rule. Nehru, a central figure in the Indian National Congress and close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, is profiled in the midst of civil disobedience, mass arrests, and heightened political tensions.
Inside, the magazine offers a deep look at Nehru’s political philosophy, his role in shaping India’s future, and the British Empire’s challenge in managing a rapidly evolving nationalist movement. The issue also includes wartime updates, global political developments, and cultural coverage from across the Allied world, all illustrated with period-specific advertisements and editorial features.
