Feroze Gandhi (born Feroze Gandhy on 12 August 1912; died 8 September 1960) was an Indian politician and journalist of Parsi descent. He was the husband of Indira Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of India and daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Indian Prime Minister. He was educated at the City Anglo-Vernacular High School and Ewing Christian College, followed by the London School of Economics. He abandoned his studies in 1930 to join the struggle for Indian independence.

thanx a lot iron 4 this info.

it is India's tragedy that people here r depend only on one family.

Suppose there is a war between India & Italy.Sonia Gandhi is a PM.she have to take a strong decision against Italy as she is a prime minister of India.so do u think that she can take a best decision in favour of India, which is just her husband's country 4 her & against her own Mother Land Italy.

suppose she has took a decision against Italy & in a favour of India which she has to take bcz she is a PM. so can a person be loyal 4 that country which is nothing 4 her than only her husband's house & went against her mothrland.

How can a person be loyal 4 another countery who is not loyal 4 his own Mother Land. If she went against India so what rite she has to become a PM of our country whose population is more than 100 crore.

Every Indian should think abt that.

The dynasty is crucial for the survival of the toadies, the hangers-on and the court-jesters who have neither the power nor the talent to shine on their own. Their own fortunes flow from that of the dynasty. If the dynasty flourishes, they flourish too, and if it perishes, so they do. Far too many congressmen believe that they have no survival independent of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, and no future outside of the Congress, which is why they stage those pitiful scenes begging and pleading with the Empress to debut the heirs-apparent rightaway.

Rahul said he could have become prime minister at 25 but preferred to gain more experience before taking up the responsibility.

The sheer arrogance...He claimed he could have been, had he so chosen, the country's prime minister at the age of twenty-five. He showed no embarrassment in making the statement...It did not matter to him that this great country was a Democracy and a prime minister must enjoy the confidence of the one billion and odd people constituting the nation. It did not bother him either that, at the time he thought the prime ministerial slot was his for the taking, his credentials were zero, except the fact that he belonged to ...the dynasty

For me, we have not gotten out of the aristocracy mindset, We wanted Kings, now we can have Kings as rulers, we have anointed a family and they end up becoming a dynasty, The Nehru/Gandhi family is the ultimate dynasty for India

The pathetic part is, only a dynastic ruler will be able to stop it, e.g, There are only certain places where Rahul Gandhi would not wipe out his opponent in an election, like Baramati, where Sharad Pawar has a dynastic rule, If he contested in Mumbai, he will win hands down, not that he has done any work, even the educated people are mentally bankrupt, that they do not see it beyond the dynasty

Even Educated people beleive Rahul Gandhi with his no experience can be a good ruler for the country

Murli Deora's son wins a election with absolutely no expeirience just based upon the fact that his father is a leader,

This has been our mentality for 50-60 years. No political party is immune to Dynasty, BJP is there to a lower level, but they have it too, NCP is Pawar's, Shivsena is the Thackeray's, Whatever party Laloo belongs to belongs to his family, Same with Mulayam

Not to say the dynasty has been all bad to India, They have done some good to the country, but they have also created nightmare's for India to deal with.

Nehruji had Kashmir/China, Indiraji created a rift towards the Sikhs, Rajiv re-opened the pandora's box of Kashmir, that his Granddad created, His mom stayed away from. I think the bad overweighs the good created by the Nehru/Gandhi family, but they did pay with their lives here.

But I would say enough of this, let us go get some real leaders, not current one's please, where real good men are turned into puppets

  • Blind hero-worship can occasionally lead to disaster.
  • No one is perfect, (except ofcourse sareg & jatayu 😉 )
  • No one's predecessors are exactly like them in terms of foresight/ priorities / social behaviour / intelligence / logical thinking / leadership qualities
  • It beats me how these dynasties form in the first place. 😡. Einstein's kid doesn't publish in Science / Nature by default. Asha's daughter did not make a phenomenon in the history of Indian music. Rakesh Bedi's son may even be afraid of merry go rounds prehaps, forget space ride! Why should Nehru and his DNA continue to rule millions of Indians? Very unnecessary, very lame. It is all about MONEY!

We Indians are very good at this, this can be seen the most in India I think, e.g

PM's brother seeks ticket for Punjab Assembly polls

Saroj Nagi

New Delhi, January 5, 2006

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's younger brother Surjit Singh Kohli has sought a ticket to contest next month's Assembly elections.

"Yes, he wants a party nomination. But he will be treated like any other aspirant whose candidature will be assessed on his elective merit," Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said.

Ashaji is very rare I must say👏👏👏, I really admire that family for this, they have gone out of their way not to force their family members on others, that whole family could have ruled the entire music Industry for decades, considering the talent that all of the siblings have, Although I know you kind of disagree about one person in there😆

So, what do you think of the Nehru-Gandhi Dynasty. Is it right for India to continually give into the Congress-leading Gandhi Dynasty? Are the members of the family truly as worthy as the first, and greatest, Jawaharlal Nehru?

Point to be noted here is that this time around the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty aka the Congress just manage to bounce back into power using various tactics... They did not have the majority... They had to catch hold of allies who'd give them the necessary support... And whats more they need the left front to remain in power... So we can be assured that the atleast time time around the country is not functioning according to this dynasty's whims n fancies...😉
