A BRACELET OF NINE AMBER FLAT SIDED BEADS AND AN AMBER BROOCH 60g Provenance: Rajan Nehru (1909-1994) by whom acquired in China to which her husband Ratan Kumar Nehru was Ambassador of India, 1955-58, or brought from China by him in the early 1960s, when engaged in diplomacy. ++The brooch and two of the beads slightly chipped Mementos of R K Nehru, Indian Ambassador Property of the late Dr Ajay Nehru (1936-2016) Ratan Kumar Nehru (1902-1981) and his wife Rajan were equally distinguished in their respective fields – diplomacy and human rights. R K Nehru was the grandson of Nandlal Nehru (1845-1887) and a second cousin of Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964) first Prime Minister of India. Rajan Nehru (1909-1994) was the daughter of Sir Kailas Narain Haksar (1878-1953) the ‘power behind the throne’ during the Regency in Gwalior. She was an active supporter of women’s rights, a member of the Indian National Congress for thirty years and also led the Indian delegation on Human Rights to the U.N. in 1973-74. R K Nehru joined the Indian Civil Service in 1925. From 1949 he served successively as ambassador to several countries, most notably China. He was Foreign Secretary of India, 1952-55 and Secretary General of the Ministry of External Affairs, 1960-63. Ratan and Rajan Nehru were therefore prominent members of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and glamorous figures on the international stage. Their influence in the early post-Independence era of the 1950s and ‘60s is now beginning to be assessed (see, for example, A.G. Noorani on R K Nehru and the “myths” of China’s “betrayal”, in ‘Frontline’, Vol 29, Issue 13, July 2012). Their son was a nuclear scientist at Imperial College and subsequently the University of Nottingham Independence, Partition and the Cold War meant India was once again the pivotal country for Asian security. Vital to this was the young nation’s relationship with China, with which there was an ongoing border dispute. That China’s leaders, Mao Zedong (1893-1976) and Zhou Enlai (1898-1976) enjoyed an excellent personal relationship with both Ratan and Rajan Nehru, is one of the notable achievements of this fascinating couple. 藏品来源：印度大使R K Nehru家族旧藏作为印度第一任首相Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964)的二表弟，Ratan Kumar Nehru (1902-1981)是一位杰出的外交官，自1949年其便历任印度驻各国大使，尤其是在中国，并曾担任印度外交部长（1952-55）及印度对外事务秘书长（1960-63）等职。其夫人Rajan Nehru (1909-1994)则是被称为“皇座背后的力量”的Kailas Narain Haksar 爵士(1878-1953)的女儿；作为一名坚定的女权运动支持者，她亦在印度国家议会效力十三年之久，并于1973-74年之间带领了联合国印度人权运动代表团。这一对杰出的夫妇在上世纪五十年代至六十年代的印度独立运动中扮演了不可或缺的角色，并因为其在外交事务中尤其是中印边界问题所担任的角色，密切往来于中印之间；因此亦与中华人民共和国政府的第一代领导人毛泽东（1893-1976）与周恩来（1898-1976）私交甚密。琥珀手链
