I am just posting this forwarded mail Which has bought together all those bits and pieces of new we used to hear and forget about but never connected it togethere.
These are all new I have read in newspaper/magazine articles and are excertps from (auto)biographies. Are they really gandhi's.
Without any prejudice, forwarding a mail... To the young
ones, this will be a little informative....And to the elders, a
reminder about the rumours/gossips prevailing in the respective
periods...But the possibility to know the facts is very remote. Is it a story OR a hidden bunch of facts Read the following, an interesting input. ARE WE UNDER A BUNCH OF IDIOTs RIGHT FROM DAY 1 We all know that Jawahar Lal'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, which once belonged to a Muslim lawyer named
Mobarak Ali. Moti Lal was earlier an employee of Mobarak Ali. 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'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. Feroze Khan, the grocer's son was then in England and he
was quite sympathetic to Indira and soon enough she changed her
religion, became a Muslim woman and married Feroze Khan in a London mosque.
Nehru was not happy; Kamala was dead already or dying. The news of
this marriage eventually reached Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Gandhi
urgently called Nehru and practically ordered him to ask the young man to
change his name from Khan to Gandhi. It had nothing to do with change
of religion, from Islam to Hinduism for instance. It was just
a case of a change of name by an affidavit. And so Feroze Khan became
Feroze Gandhi. The surprising thing is that the apostle of truth, the old
man soon to be declared India's Mahatma and the 'Father of the Nation'
didn't mention this game of his in the famous book, 'My
Experiments with Truth'. Why? When they returned to India, a mock 'Vedic
marriage' was instituted for public consumption. On this subject, writes
M.O. Mathai (a longtime private secretary of Nehru) in his renowned
(but now suppressed by the GOI) 'Reminiscences of the Nehru Age' on
page 94, second paragraph: ''For some inexplicable reason, Nehru
allowed the marriage to be performed according to Vedic rites in 1942.
An inter-religious and inter-caste marriage under Vedic rites
at that time was not valid in law. To be legal, it had to be a
civil marriage. It's a known fact that after Rajiv's birth Indira and
Feroze lived separately, but they were not divorced. Feroze used to
harass Nehru frequently for money and also interfere in Nehru's
political activities. Nehru got fed up and left instructions not to
allow him into the Prime Minister's residence Trimurthi Bhavan.
Mathai writes that the death of Feroze came as a relief to Nehru and
Indira. The death of Feroze in 1960 before he could consolidate his
own political forces, is itself a mystery. Feroze had even planned to remarry. Those who try to keep tabs on our leaders in spite of all the suppressions and deliberate misinformation, are aware of the fact that the second son
of Indira (or Mrs. Feroze Khan) known as Sanjay Gandhi was not the
son of Feroze. He was the son of another Moslem gentleman,
Mohammad Yunus. Here, in passing, we might mention that the second son was
originally named Sanjiv. It rhymed with Rajiv, the elder brother's
name. It was changed to Sanjay when he was arrested by the British
police in England and his passport impounded, for having stolen a
car. Krishna Menon was then India's High Commissioner in London. He
offered to issue another passport to the felon who changed his name
to Sanjay.
Incidentally, Sanjay's marriage with the Sikh girl Menaka
(now they call her Maneka for Indira Gandhi found the name of Lord
Indra's court dancer rather offensive!) took place quite surprisingly in
Mohammad Yunus' house in New Delhi. And the marriage with Menaka
who was a model (She had modeled for Bombay Dyeing wearing just a
towel) was not so ordinary either. Sanjay was notorious in getting unwed
young women pregnant. Menaka too was rendered pregnant by Sanjay. It
was then that her father, Colonel Anand, threatened Sanjay with dire
consequences if he did not marry her daughter. And that did the trick.
Sanjay married Menaka. It was widely reported in Delhi at the time that
Mohammad Yunus was unhappy at the marriage of Sanjay with Menaka;
apparently he had wanted to get him married with a Muslim girl of his
choice. It was Mohammad Yunus who cried the most when Sanjay died in the
plane accident. In Yunus' book, 'Persons, Passions; Politics'
one discovers that baby Sanjay had been circumcised following Islamic
custom, although the reason stated was phimosis............continued in the comments
