Black history of gandhi family
NTERESTING HISTORY!

At the very beginning of his book, "The Nehru Dynasty", astrologer K.N.Rao mentions the names of Jawaharlal's father and grandfather.
Jawahar Lal's father was believed to be Motilal and Motilal's father was one Gangadhar Nehru.
And we all know that Jawaharlal's only daughter was Indira Priyadarshini Nehru; Kamala Nehru was her mother, who died in Switzerland of tuberculosis.
She was totally against Indira's proposed marriage with Feroze.
Why? No one tells us that!

Now, who is this Feroze?
We are told by many that he was the son of the family grocer.
The grocer supplied wines,etc. to Anand Bhavan (previously known as Ishrat Manzil)

What was the family grocer's name?
One frequently hears that Rajiv Gandhi's grandfather was Pandit Nehru.
But then we all know that everyone has two grandfathers, the paternal and the maternal grandfathers.
In fact, the paternal grandfather is deemed to be the more important grandfather in most societies.

Why is it then, no where, we find Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather's name?
It appears that the reason is simply this. Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather was a Muslim gentleman from the Junagadh area of Gujarat.
This Muslim grocer by the name of Nawab Khan, had married a Parsi woman after converting her to Islam.
This is the source where from the myth of Rajiv being a Parsi was derived.
Rajiv's father Feroze, was Feroze Khan before he married Indira, against Kamala Nehru's wishes.

Feroze's mother's family name was Ghandy, often associated with Parsis and this was changed to Gandhi,sometime before his wedding with Indira, by an affidavit.

The fact of the matter is that (and this fact can be found in many writings) Indira was very lonely. Chased out of the Shantiniketan University by Guru Dev Rabindranath himself for misdemeanor, the lonely girl was all by herself, while father Jawahar was busy with politics, pretty women and illicit sex; the mother was in hospital.

    This was true for both my grandparents and parents. My grandparents, Kwun and Cheng grew up together in the same town and knew each other since their teenage years. Their relationship most resembles the nuclear era trend of dating that leads to marriage, marrying your high school sweetheart, and propinquity. My mother’s dating history is a great example of someone who dated less homogenously and recreationally where dating doesn’t always lead to marriage. Lin claims that she has been on at least one date with ten different men before she met my dad. Most of her dates were arranged by a mutual friend and embodied the patriarchal trend of courtship being a community affair. My father’s mother was actually the one to introduce her son to Lin and on their first date, it was definitely a highly controlled community affair. My mother and uncle dined at a restaurant with my dad, my grandmother, and aunt. At the end of their lunch, Jiaming asked my uncle for Lin’s phone number and that is the beginning of how my parents began their relationship. It was a publically arranged and chaperoned first date where both parties had the approval of their families. After this first encounter, there were less instances of familial control. My father courted my mother in a semi-ritualistic format, another patriarchal trend, by calling her every night after work for a dinner…
