The article claims that Nehru and Gandhi hated princely dynasties and ironically they themselves are now a political dynasty unwilling to share power with non family members
- pritambaral 5y agoThe Gandhi dynasty is not descended from the M.K "Mahatma" Gandhi who fought for independence. It is descended from Nehru though, through Indira Gandhi (née Nehru).
- girishso 5y agoNehru did fight for independence though.
- forcry 5y agoAn interview with Nehru. Not to prove anything.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdkRwYkkSxk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdkRwYkkSxk
- pritambaral 5y agoBy "the ... Gandi who did X" I meant, "as opposed to the other Gandhis who didn't X".
- girishso 5y agoBut you did agree Nehru fought for the independence, who's these current Gandhis are direct descendants.
- pritambaral 5y agoI said nothing on the matter. Neither for nor against. Please stop trying to put words in my mouth.
- tsjq 5y agonitpick: today's Gandhi dynasty (Sonia, Rahul, Priyanka, Robert) is actually Nehru progeny. Nehru's daughter Indira married one Feroze Gandy and got their surnames "updated" to Gandhi spelling. the Gandy and Gandhi have absolutely no connection .
