Through the newspaper incident, we get to know about the tolerance, modesty and decency in the personality of Nehru. The newspaper incident is that the author was reading the newspaper read by Nehru. The writer did this because he felt that if Nehru asked him to return the newspaper, he would talk to him. When Nehru came back, he saw that the writer was reading the newspaper. He politely asked the author to let him read the newspaper once the author finishes reading the newspaper. He was elated to hear Nehru talking to him.
