Gandhi had not tried to foster his off-spirings into politics. Great and really patriotic leaders like Rajaji, Sastri, Kamaraj, Namboodripad, Nijalingappa, R.Venkatraman, etc. have not made any such attempts.
Its painful to see the Nehru family continues to rule the country, like the earlier Maharajas, Similarly in T.Nadu also, the CM, being very old, is trying very hard to foster his son, and now his daughter to gain control of the CM seat. People who have questioned about this, were systematically sidelined, example Nedunzhian, Vaiko, Nanjil Manoharan,etc. Even the present CM, who was only PWD Minister when Anna died,managed to hold CM's chair, inspite of everyone's favourite Mr.Nedunzehian. Senior leaders both at the Centre and in the State were simply watching and never raises an eyebrow, simply because of losing their existing power. The Amethi constituency is treated as though it is their family's kingdom.
I pray to God that people should think rationally, and vote based on the merit of each candidate, and not based on family heritage. That day will be the Golden Day in indian politics.
Can anyone clarify what was the real title of Firoz, the husband of Indira? I have heard two theories. One says that Firoz was Khan and he was adopted by Gandhiji after Indira Nehru fell in love with him, so that Indira can write Gandhiafter her name instead of Khan, a Muslim title. But I read in a newspaper once and now someone in rediffmail discussion also says that title of Firoz was GhANDHI and not GANDHI.

There is no account of any mughals being "GhANDHI". Gandhi was a bania, and these mughals cooked up story to fool both Hindus and Muslims in India by using a fake gandhi surname.
It was Nehru Ghazi Khan ( They chanced z with ndh to produce their illegitimate offsprings.
