The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.

Nehru contrasts agitation—protest, slogan, and mobilization—with the slower work of analysis. The remark suggests that while agitation can be necessary to draw attention or create political pressure, it is insufficient for understanding complex issues or designing workable policy. “Detailed consideration” implies evidence, nuance, and willingness to engage with competing arguments—habits Nehru often associated with responsible governance and modern statecraft. The quote can be read as a warning against reducing public questions to purely emotional or adversarial postures: without study and deliberation, agitation risks becoming performative, polarizing, or intellectually shallow, and may fail to produce durable solutions.
