Abstract: A sincere attempt has been made to elicit the unconsciously theistic voices in Jawaharlal Nehru’s monumental work THE DISCOVERY OF INDIA. Close perusal of the work has thrown light on the fact that the author has unconsciously slipped into theism not withstanding his refusal to accept the Creator as a mysterious force controlling human lives. His outright respect for the Vedas and Puranas has been perused umpteen times to arrive at this conclusion. It has emerged on close scrutiny that Nehru as a historian has an objective outlook about the Vedic history of the land. However, Nehru as a literature slips into subjectivity while expressing his awe and amazement at India’s Vedic history. The article elucidates the theistic voices heard in Nehru’s great work!
Keywords: The Discovery of India, Vedic History, Religions, Human Life.
