The evidence is effective because Nehru gives several examples to the assembly of the hard work that needs to be done.
Through an rhetorical device called anaphora (a repetition at the beginning of a phrase), Nehru is listing the different domains he and his audience, the people of India, will need to work on. Examples of anaphora in the excerpt are "<u>and</u> end poverty <u>and</u> ignorance <u>and</u> disease;" or "<u>to</u> bring" – "<u>to</u> fight" – "<u>to</u> build up" – "<u>to</u> create." He separates the areas to improve in categories:
- more freedom and opportunity, especially to the lower classes ("the peasants and workers of India");
- reduce poverty, ignorance and disease;
- reinforce the nation ("prosperous, democratic and progressive");
- establish just institutions ("social, economic and political institutions which will ensure justice and fullness of life").
Nehru is also convincing the audience that even though the work will be difficult, it is their duty, their responsibility, and the only path to take:
- "The future beckons to us;"
- "till we redeem our pledge, ... till we make all the people of India what destiny intended them to be."
True, cells are the building blocks of life.
