He in 1936, 1937 and 1946 was elected as the President of Indian National Congress and occupied a position in nationalist movement.
He became the first Prime Minister in 1947 for the independent India. He coped up with the challenges in framing a new constitution and in establishing governmental and political infrastructure. Jawaharlal Nehru was the key person in building modern India and supported the development of technology. In his tenure the minimum marriageable age is increased to 15 and the divorce rights were given to women too. The dowry system was made illegal.
The role played by Jawaharlal Nehru was a constructive and mediatory one in bringing the Korean War to an end. Several hotheaded issues, as the West Berlin, Austria, and Laos were solved by contributing himself behind the scenes. Jawahar Lal Nehru was not successful in improving relations with Pakistan and China. Nehru was unsuccessful to expect the Chinese invasion in 1962, which became a great blow to him and probably was the main reason of his death.
