Motilal born 3 month's later after the death of his father at the age of 34. Motilal was brought up under the loving care of his immediate elder brother Nandlal, Jfe was edxicated at the govt, school at Allahabad and Kanpur and the Muir. central college. His early education was confined entirely to persian and Arabic and at his teenage he was considered to he a good persian scholar, Ife was never serious about his studies and took more interest in game and novel adventures. Hs passed through his various university examinations without any special distinction. But in B.A, after first paper he dropped rest of the papers as he was expecting not to pass in that paper. This ended Motilal's University career. He chose law as a profession and appeared for the High courts vakil examination. Pfe had topped the list and got a gold meflal. Ffe had been married to Srijukta Swarup Rani Devi in 1888, Swarup Rani was a gifted and accomplished brahman Lady, and proved herself a worthy mate of her noble husiband. Their married life was a happy one. They had one son, Pt, Jawaharlal (1889) and two daughters Vijay lanmi (1900) and Krishna Nehru (1907). Hs Started his practice in district court of Kanpur in 1883 and after serving his apparenticeship for 3 years he moved to Ailaliabad to work in the Hic^ coxirt on the advice of E>t. Prithivinath Nabh. In Allahabad he worked with his brother for a short period. After the death of Nandlal his dearly loved elder brother, he plunged into his profession. Soon he had notime for any other activity, public or private. In the due coiurse of time he had taken firm grip of the ladder of success and rung by rung he mounted higher, not by anyones favour, as he felt, not by any service of another, but by his own will and intellect, Hs was a reformist on his return from Europe (1900) . ffe refused to perform Prayashchit or purification ceromony or to submit in any way. Slowly he was attracted to the politics of India and joined the moderates, Ife presided over a provincial conference (1907), ffe also became the President of U.P, provential congress committee. On the inauguration of the Morley-Minto reforms in 1909 he thought fit to participate more ectivfty in public life, and became a member of the United Provinces Legislative Council. In Legislative council Pandit Motilal went on fighting for Peoples rights and against bureaucratic ^agaries, Motilal had not wanted to join ffome Rule I*ague, but in 1917, the internment of Mrs Besant by Madras govt, provoked him. He became the president of the Allahabad branch of the Ffome Rule League and presided over a provincial conference convened to protest against the interment. In Augusit 1918, he parted company with his moderate friends. At the end of the year he activily participated, in the proceedings of the Bombay congress which demanded radical changes in the Montagu- Chelmsford reforms. On february 5, Wednesday, Motilal started a daily news paper, "The Independent". It lived for three adventurous years, it had several editors and managers in tlvtt period, it went through many changes in content and style, and it had moments of brilliance. It closed early in the 1923. Motilal elected to preside 1919 congress session (Amritsar) . There he was in the centre of the gathering strem which pulled down many familiar landmarks during the following years. At the special session of the congress held at Calcutta in August 1920 Motilal Joined the non cooperation movement. The resolution was moved by Mahatma Gandhi and was passed by a large majority. The decision of Pt. Motilal Nehru to join the movement put a new life into it and appealed to the Imagincition of the people of India, it will not be exaggeration if say that the success of non cooperation movement in its early stages was due to presence of Motilal and C.R. tes. In December 1921 Motilal was a^^ected and senteoed to six months Imprisonment, When Motilal came out of goal in the summer of 1922, he found that the movement had declined, the congress organisation was distracted by internal differences. At this time Motilal and C.R. Das had founded the swaraj party in 1923. ^arty contested the elections at the end of the year and emerged as the largest party in the central legislative assembly Motilal was the leader of opposition in the council. It would be difficult for anyone to recount the services of Pt, Motilal as the leader of Swaraj Party in the legislative council• In September 1925 Motilal put forward in the assembly the famous national demand. But govt, made it clear that they were not going to accept it. A special committee appointed by the congress at Kanpur interpreted the viceroy's inaugural address and the statements of the Home Member in tl^ Asseimbly and the council of state to imply refusal to conceed national demand.
