Correct Answer Explanation

Socialism appealed to Nehru the most. However, he rejected Soviet-style socialism where all means of production were government-owned.

Key Points:
  • Nehru wanted a socialist society with a strong public sector but also private property and democracy.
  • In the Soviet Union, all factories and farms were owned by the government with no private property.
  • India chose a mixed economy instead.
