India
celebrates Children's Day November 14 as a tribute to her first Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who was born on the day in 1889.
Nehru
fondly called "Chacha
Nehru" was a favourite among kids. His books on Indian
history and world history written to aid his daughter Indira Gandhi
is read by children in schools and also have been adopted into TV
series.
India
started celebrating Children's Day from 1959, when it used to be on
November 20, which the UN designated as the universal Children's Day.
Following
Nehru's death in 1964, it was unanimously decided to celebrate his
birthday as Bal Diwas in the country due to his love and affection
towards children.
On
this day, chocolates and gifts are distributed among children.
Schools organise debates, drama, music and dance performances often
enacted by the teachers.
